Lennox Head

Lennox Head is one of Australia's finest right-hand point breaks, wrapping long, powerful walls around the basalt headland south of Ballina. It works best on a solid SE swell and is regarded as a world-class wave capable of rides that last hundreds of metres. The wave suits experienced surfers and is a step up from most NSW point breaks in power and consequence.

Best Conditions

Good to Know

Limited parking at the headland — arrive early or park in the town and walk. No facilities directly at the point; town centre is a short walk.

Hazards

Rocky entry and exit over basalt boulders, powerful hold-downs on bigger sets, heavy localised crowds, occasional sharks
