Lennox Head is a right-handed point break on the coast of Byron Shire, Australia. On the right day, the ideal swell window runs from NNE–ESE (30–120°); groundswell with periods around 10–17s gives it the most shape; the wave is comfortably workable up to roughly 12 ft on the face. Best winds are W or SW, with NW or S still rideable. Tide influences the wave moderately, so timing the swing helps line up the better sets. The sweet spot in our data sits between roughly 0.5 m and 1.8 m of tide height. It is one of the more consistent waves in the region, producing rideable days across much of the season. Expect mild water that may call for a spring suit. Expect a busy lineup, particularly during the prime season. Logistically, it is about 20 minutes from BNK airport. It is best suited to surfers with a few seasons of overhead experience who can pick their lines under pressure. Board-wise, locals lean on point board / shortboard.
The best window is typically Feb–Sep, when swells from NNE–ESE (30–120°) are most consistent.
In our data the spot is workable up to roughly 12 ft on the face on the right swell and wind, beyond which it usually becomes unmanageable or closes out.
It can be friendly on small days, but the lineup is usually competitive and not the best fit for first-timers.
