Old Woman Ledge Access
  2 km paddle from Mudjimba. It's on the eastern side of Old Woman island (not to worried about giving away the location as no one would surf it).
Make your way to Mudjimba boardwalk near the surf club and paddle over. Gets sharky, takes 15-20 mins or hit it with a boat

Additional Surfing Infos
 Only surfed by a handfull of local bodyboarders (no standups have the figs to tackle it). Not a surfers wave, best lider wave in Queensland. It crancks, don't hit it up if you're not an experienced bodyboarder.
  Overview
  Atmosphere Very sharky, you wont really give a **** when you see the wave, but sharky. 20 min paddle. It's an awesome wave (would have to be the best reef in Queensland).
  General It's just an unreal wave, when you score it good every wave will spit, just pull in and you will have the best surf of your life.
Had the best surf of my life here by far (comparable to Box or Shark Island) when the beach break is 2 foot this spot will be 4 plus.

really?
Live in canada now but grew up for 25 years in peregian beach just around the corner. I have surfed this spot many times on a surfboard not a bodyboard so is definetly a good wave for surfing not just bodyboarding!

Old Women
Its been 15 years , but it still looks just as good. There is also a left at the Island that breaks just as good . We used to paddle over there all the time . Most of the locals would rather surf the beach back then .They thought I was crazy to paddel my lid over by myself . But they told me back then, that Kong used to charge the place back in the early 80,s . The place has changed on the beach though.They should not have built the units, and tore down the local shop. Sure has changed
