Byron Bay (The Pass)

The Pass is one of Australia's most celebrated point breaks, peeling long, mellow rights around the rocky headland at the eastern tip of Cape Byron. It faces northeast and fires on E to NE swells, producing some of the longest rides on the NSW coast. A classic longboard wave that also handles shortboards, popular with surfers of all abilities.

Hazards

Rocky reef entry and exit, strong rips around the headland, very heavy crowds on good days, sea urchins on the reef
