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.
