Lennox Head surf guide

Lennox Head is a surf spot located on the North Coast of New South Wales, Australia. Known for its stunning views and vibrant surf culture, it attracts surfers from various places. The area has been popular with the surfing community since the early 1960s and features a mix of different waves, making it an interesting place for both locals and visitors alike. While Lennox Head can deliver great surf, it's important to note that the crowd can get pretty thick, especially on good days.

This spot is renowned for its right-hand point break that works best with a south swell and performs decently with northeast and south swells as well. It can handle swell sizes around 3ft (about 0.9 meters) or more and breaks over boulders, which also adds an element of risk and requires solid paddling skills. The wave offers full-throttle rides with fast sections and barrel opportunities, demanding expertise and precise timing. The preferable wind direction is southwest, and it can work on all tide levels—low, mid, or high. However, it's mainly suited for expert surfers due to the tricky currents and challenging entry points.

If you're not up for the point or if it's flat, there are some scrappy beach breaks around town that can entertain, especially for groms or surfers looking for a more laid-back session. When the main point isn't firing, it's worth checking out the spots near the lake, but keep in mind that competition for waves can be fierce during busy times.
