Lennox Head, NSW, Australia

Lennox head has a world class right hand pointbreak that on a good day will reel down the rocky point for 500m. Believe me, that is a very long way to surf!

The waves usually have to get above the 3ft mark to really start working but can get as big as 15ft on the biggest days. There's always a catch - entry into the water and getting back onto land is notoriously difficult due to the boulders that line the point all the way to the beach. PS. there are a few golden beachbreaks nearby that you won't want to miss.
