Additional Surfing Infos |
| | Stay out of the way of the locals, particuarly in tourist season, it's when they are at their maddest. There's a big carpark just up the boat ramp but get in early as it fills up fast.

Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
Look out for the dive boats, they come out through the line up and they will hit you if you dont move. Show respect to the locals and you might get a wave if they don't feel like taking it. The locals make sure its very hostile for any tourists trying to get some sneaker sets. |
| |
General |
It's pretty damn nice on low tide, getting super sucky and hollow. Get a big swell with nice banks and you could catch a workable bomb right through into the Bay, about 250-300m. Only problem is it gets way too crowded. |

nice weekend
Well, I went to byron with some friends and it was supposed to be a lot bigger than what it was... i think thats because we were at the pass and not a more southerly facing beach which would have picked up more swell. pretty huge crowds as you
