The Pass
Edit SpotAbout
It's pretty damn nice on low tide, getting super sucky and hollow. Get a big swell with nice banks and you could catch a workable bomb right through into the Bay, about 250-300m. Only problem is it gets way too crowded.
Atmosphere:
Look out for the dive boats, they come out through the line up and they will hit you if you dont move. Show respect to the locals and you might get a wave if they don't feel like taking it. The locals make sure its very hostile for any tourists trying to get some sneaker sets.
Additional Info:
Stay out of the way of the locals, particuarly in tourist season, it's when they are at their maddest. There's a big carpark just up the boat ramp but get in early as it fills up fast.

Go to Byron. If you can't find it from there, don't surf it cause you won't get a wave from the locals.
