A peaceful village by the sea, just south of Byron Bay. Almost every day from October to May offers pleasant beach weather, but the very best months for the beach are from December to April. Surfing in Lennox is excellent but if your looking for a protected, waveless swimming area then you will have to head south to Ballina where there are some calm and protected beaches. This is a long unprotected beach with a small seasonally patrolled area out the front of the Surf Life Saving Club.
Rips are common right along the beach.
In ideal conditions with a light westerly there is a good beach break of around 2.5 metres. Lennox Point Lennox Point is the classic point setup, home to one of Australia's biggest and longest warm water surf breaks. The point works best with a south westerly blowing and a swell ripping around the point from the south-south east. The long, peeling right hand break seems to go on forever and waves sometimes exceed 4 metres when conditions are good. Flat Rock is just a bit further south of Boulders and it tends to work better with a east-south east swell and winds from further round to the west.
