Johanna
Johanna is one of Victoria's classic heavy beachbreaks, a long Otway Coast run of sand that picks up far more swell than most nearby beaches. It is a powerful, experienced-surfers wave with multiple peaks, plenty of moving water, and the kind of punch that rewards a solid board and a committed paddle.
