Seven Mile Beach
About the Beach
Seven Mile Beach stretches 8.5 kilometres of open sand from Lennox Head south toward Ballina. The name is a slight exaggeration but the scale is real, and the crowds are nothing like Byron Bay 20 kilometres to the north.
Lennox Point anchors the northern end with one of Australia's best right-hand point breaks. Designated a National Surfing Reserve in 2008, Australia's third. Rock bottom, long walling rides, best on SE swell with SW offshore winds. June is the prime month and mid-tide rising the sweet spot. The lineup is experienced and tight, so know what you're doing before paddling out.
Lake Ainsworth sits right next to the surf club, a freshwater tea-tree lake with no motorised craft, calm and safe for kids when the ocean's rough. Boat Channel runs 1.5 kilometres of reef along the northern end, crystal clear for snorkelling.
Lifeguards patrol in summer but only until 5pm. Rips run the full length of the beach, especially around the point, and they can be strong. Swim between the flags.
Tomorrow's Forecast
Expecting howling southerly winds around 42km/h with a pumping 2.7m swell from the south-east. Cool 19°C in the air expected with comfortable 23°C in the water, and a falling tide. Rainy conditions with a minimal UV index of 1.
