The Wreck (surf spot)

The Wreck is a surf spot located at Byron Bay, New South Wales, Australia.

The ship lost its tie to the old Byron Bay Pier during a cyclone in 1922 and sank.

On the eastern end of the Wreck one can see the rudder tiller and at low tide one can see the boilers.

The Wreck is best surfed on mid-high tide with a W - SE wind, on a N/NE swell of 3 to 6 feet.

When working well, a fast, hollow and powerful right-hander breaks on the sand bank about 10 metres (33 ft) in front of the shipwreck.
