Byron Bay - The Wreck
Edit SpotAbout
It is a very fun wave but is spoit by the amount of kooks that chose to surf there and as a local please don't come to Byron and hassle us because you will end up getting bashed up.
Atmosphere:
Can have really good vibes when its going off but is normally kook land
Additional Info:
park in the fish heads car park. There is a fun left and right that breaks off the rutter of the sunken ship as-well as a right that breaks of the ships boiler. the rutter does hold a decent swell bull the boiler hold a bigger swell. The barrels at the boiler on its day are like caves and can be almond and beautiful as-well as square and mutant.
