The Pass

Byron Bay, New South Wales, Australia

A long, mellow right-hand point in Byron Bay. Smaller days suit improving beginners; it gets very crowded.

Swell and wind

This is the swell out at sea, not the surf on the beach. How big it breaks here depends on the swell’s direction and period, the sea floor and the tide. Check a surf report for the size.

Swell: 1.2 m (4 ft) from the SE, 6 s period (windswell), out at sea
Wind: Light cross-shore, 10 km/h (6 knots) from the SE, gusting 28 km/h
Water: 21°C (70°F). Wear a springsuit (or a thin steamer).
