Post #2, Byron Bay, Australia

Byron Bay,

Not only is Byron Bay the most easterly point in Australia it is also has three beaches in one thanks to Cape Byron Headland. This headland gives surfers a East, North and South break. Byron Bay's swell forecast and waves are usually big at one of these breaks. Their are a number of breaks of the headland and these breaks are known as 'The pass', 'The wreck', 'Wategos', 'Little wategos', The pass is a great break when the surf is up, its not to big and not to small and barrels like fake wave. Wategos is a break usually for long board riders and the classic 'Mal' is often used there. Also last thing I have to say is that Dolphins are often found around the headland, it seems they must like to surf too.

The sunny subtropical climate up their is a great tourist attraction. The epic point break known as ' The Spit ' is hidden along the 70 kilometers of sand and water. The Spit is a right to left point break which right foot surfers could rip on. This point break was also used in a movie called ' Lords of Dogtown ' and is very famous for its barrels.
