Windmills like Lighthouse is a great summer wave, when the swell is small, Windmills is great. The water is crystal clear and the waves can be really hollow. It is not uncommon to surf here with several pro surfers and local ripers.The walk is long and the flys can be unbearable, look out.
Atmosphere
Usually pretty good, but if the swell is really small and during the christmas period things can get a little hectic

someone - u guys r idiots. photo 14 was NOT taken at the farm, but taken at windmills, by ME! with my canon 6 megapixel waterhoused camera, i took the photo of my mate on a wave so shut your traps. Just because that pic might have been submitted to wannasurf on the farm, doesnt mean its really the farm.grow up

kook style - guys windmills is a joke. i went to windmills with my friend while we were down south and my mum drove us all the way there and we get there to find dark-ass blue water with 6-7 foot waves onto rocks everywhere. there was a tiny bit of a sandbar with rocks sticking up. i thought windmills looked like fun for us kooks but obviously not.
