The Surf at Main Beach: To the East of the wreck in Byron bay is the beach break known as main beach. When it's small to midsized, main beach is just a great fun wave for the whole family, including but not limited to inexperienced, beginner and absolute novice surfers. For the learner this place is fantastic and usually at its best on higher tides. This spot rarely gets big. But if it does its character changes completely making it a very heavy wave, then it's for the highly experienced surfers only, yet as mentioned before this is rare. Although patrolled and usually quite safe, be aware there is a current heading northwest towards The Wreck when the swell gets bigger. The local crew here will expect you to exercise courtesy and respect to all when surfing here.
