surf report

The team at Ballina Byron Rental Cars have been having too much fun to get the surf report updated as often as our customers like. So, while we like getting the email requests for feedback on local conditions we're running out of time to put our customers into reliable cars AND to get some waves to ourselves. 

Here's a link to Coastalwatch, which has web cams in 3 local spots (Ballina, Lennox Head and Byron Bay).  We think the link will save us all some time and add to the quality of our lives. The Ballina surf cam went off line the other day, but it's being fixed already (cause was someone who didn't want to share waves we think).  It looks down Lighthouse Beach and pans across to North Wall and back towards the old surf club site.

The Lennox Head surf cam looks out from the surf club on Seven Mile Beach and pans up the beach to the Boat Channel and  towards (but not quite to) the Point, back along the beach and north past the Sport and Rec Camp at Lake Ainsworth. Staff from the Ballina Byron Rental Cars team were out surfing in the Lennox Longboarders event on 4 March 2007, while our friends were watching back in Coffs Harbour. 

We were caught by the spy cam a couple of times, but unfortunately, in the varied conditions we didn't do too well.  However, we all had fun and didn't lose anyone, including the kids, which is the main thing. The Byron Bay surf cam is in a great spot. It pans along Byron Main Beach towards the Wreck then back along to Clarks Beach and out across the water to The Pass. 

We've seen some pretty good snippets of surf at The Pass which saved us a lot of running about between beaches.  And it has helped us to enjoy a relaxing latte at our favourite cafes as well. We hope you get some use out of the web cams, but if you still want to email us for a local's view on the conditions that's OK.

For any information please feel free to contact us.
