sharks!!!
I'm a local booger, and fisherman. I fish for bull sharks in particular, and the best spot for them is north wall.
Last year a young guy named Peter Edmonds was killed there by a bullshark.
so beware!!!

Ballina rivermouth
Ballina is a sleepy little seaside town locked into the 1950's. The only thing good about the surf is its protected from the prevalling summer NE winds. You will also find a small quality left hand break INSIDE the rivermouth by the bridge although the banks have to be right and a big swell running.

excellent area
love this area of Oz, lots of waves to choose from and some super nice people. lennox head is dominated by the locals, but have a mooch and you'll find some really nice waves that aren't too crowded.

we were there in '99 and had checked the coast from yamba to byron and this was the only place with a good wave. friendly people, great surfers and nice small town atomosphere.

north wall
north wall acts as a magnet to most of the swell in the area. If other places are small then a wave is usually gauranteed. Easy to get out and generally a good fun wave. Can hold a bit of size but depends on the banks. Good fun in summer.
