Byron Bay

A well-known surf destination that still feels like a village. Surf shops, cafés, and restaurants sit close together behind the beach. The Pass is the headline act, a right-hand point break running up to 400 metres. Wategos, The Wreck, and Broken Head complete a coastline that has drawn surfers since the 1960s.

Best time to surf in Byron Bay

Best time to surf in Byron Bay

December to May brings the most powerful and consistent surf, with east and north-east swells lighting up the right-hand points. March to May is the standout window: a quieter town, clean mornings and reliable waves.
June to November is smaller and mellower; the most accessible period for beginners and improvers.

The water sits around 24 to 27°C in the warmer months and drops to roughly 20 to 22°C in winter.

Modern outdoor entrance with a dark wooden slatted pergola and matching gate beside lush tropical plants. A tan surfboard with wooden trim is mounted vertically on a rack against a white wall, casting striped shadows from the overhead slats.
View of a turquoise ocean and a lone palm tree seen through an open wooden window with reddish-brown frames and sheer curtains blowing gently at the side.
Cozy coastal-themed room corner with a wicker chair and mustard cushions on terracotta tile floor. Above a white radiator hangs a striped shirt with a colorful crocheted top on a wooden rack, next to a potted plant on a shelf. A peach-colored surfboard with a fin rests on the floor, and a framed monochrome landscape print decorates the wall.
Outdoor seaside café with rustic wooden tables and wicker chairs surrounded by potted cacti and tropical plants, overlooking a calm ocean with surfers in the distance and hazy hills under a soft peach sunset sky.
View over lush green tropical plants and thatched-roof huts toward a turquoise ocean with perfect rolling waves under a blue sky dotted with fluffy white clouds.
Cozy wooden cabin with a tiled roof, small porch, and two tan beanbags beside a standing white surfboard, partially shaded by palm leaves.
