Here is just a small selection of the best waves to surf in Byron Bay...
The Pass
This is a long right hand point break over a sandy bottom that can run for almost 500m on a good day. Expect your legs to burning. It performs best on an east or south swell regardless of how big it might be because the structure of the bay ensures it’s sheltered. So when it’s too big everywhere,
The Pass is where all the locals head because it gets clean on a south wind that is pervasive throughout the year. It works on all tides, with the lower tide being more suited to advanced surfers and the higher tide being better suited to beginners. That said, even on a big day beginners can move down the line up and score some fun little peelers. Watch the crowds though, because it can get busy.
Wategos
This is more of a longboarder’s wave but does offer a few options for short boarders. Like The Pass it like an easterly swell but can still get plenty of waves on a large southerly swell. It’s a long right hand point that can be a little soft in sections but the length of ride is second to none. It’s a slightly older crew the frequent it but that just adds to the mellow vibe of this beautiful wave.
The Wreck
If you move a little further north along the bay you’ll come across one of the more iconic waves in Australia: the Wreck. As the name suggests, a ship wreck marks the start of a right hand sand bottom wave that has plenty of people enjoying it on a variety of surf crafts. It’s a little variable but is great for surfers of all abilities.
Tallows
This break is one of the reasons people rarely leave Bryon because while The Pass is certainly the town’s crown jewel, Tallows gives surfers the option of a wave that works on a north wind that destroys all other surf spots along the coastline. This is thanks to the geography of the bay because where it’s onshore in place it’s always off shore if you’re prepared to make a laid back 5-minute walk. It’s a combination of power packed beach breaks that works on most tides and is ideal for summer conditions.
