Byron Bay, the province with surfing as an alternative lifestyle or probably the most leading creed is one of Australia’s the most eminent surfing destinations. Celebrated for its admired and friendly breaks, it is a home to a range of wonderful rolling waves that are held to be the best ones for beginners. The Pass is one of those eight breaks in close proximity and at times surfers have witnessed even a 500 meter ride there.

With sizes ranging from 2 feet to 4 feet, waves that approach Byron Bay make it ideal place for surfing. Sometimes, swell causes tubular and fast waves and quite the opposite, if swell is small, slow and mellow breaks bestow a good ride for grommets with long boards. Though the surfing is probably the only sport played all year round, the best time to visit Byron Bay is during January to May.

The Wreck (Point Break), Belongil (Beach and River Mouth Break), Clarkes, and Main Beach (Beach Break) are several famous breaks that can be named. Wategos Beach is one of those well-known surf breaks bestowing just the right conditions for long-boarding. At Byron Bay, many avid and savvy surfers ride massive waves, frequently they account around 100-metre length, from the Pass to Main Beach. The legendary Tallow Beach has some bigger waves that draw the advanced surfers and youth to experience more challenging rides.

No matters whether you are a novice surfer or an advanced one, Byron Bay has everything for anyone and everyone. The consistent waves, moderate water temperature and apt weather conditions make this spot a paradise of surfers and busy all year round. The town houses several surf stores, surfboard rental stores, surf camps and schools. The streets here are always teeming with surfers and so the surfboard makers too. You will find locals often discussing about the swell, tides and winds. What all these things show, is the time-honored culture of surfing at Byron Bay, a must visit place on an Aussie trip.
