Lennox Head is one of Australia's most revered points—a long, bending right-hander that peels along a basalt boulder headland in northern NSW. When clean SE swells combine with SW winds, Lennox produces perfect walls and barrel sections that can run for over a kilometer. The wave is powerful, the rocks are real, and the local crew is tight. The headland offers a spectacular vantage point for watching sets roll in. This is genuine world-class point surfing in a beautiful setting, with all the challenges—crowds, localism, difficulty—that come with elite waves.
