NSW Cape Byron is the eastern-most point of Australia. Sheltering under the Cape is Byron Bay, long known as the hippy capital of Australia. This area is exposed to swells from the north, east and south so it is rarely flat. Usually the surf is 2-6ft. The skimming varies from day to day due to the amount of sand and water moving round the Cape.
