Bells Beach Surf

Listed under Surfing in Geelong West, Australia.

Torquay is the closest town to Bells Beach, home of Rip Curl ,the longest running surf contest in the world.

It's a right hand point rock with a sandy bottom. Wetsuits are needed all year as the minimum water temperature is 10degrees. Best surfing between February and April and when the waves are 6 feet plus.
