The break.
Right pointIntermediateMixed
Rip Curl Pro
A right-hand point under the cliffs outside Torquay. Bells is the Australian contest wave people grew up watching at Easter. The Rip Curl Pro is the ritual. The point works without it. Cold water, a long wall, and a car park that fills when the swell is on.
When.
March to June
Autumn southwest swell. Easter is the ritual.

Worth knowing.
- 1. Rincon and Winki are further along the same stretch. If Bells is packed, walk.
- 2. Autumn is the classic window. A clean Easter swell is what the contest waits for.
- 3. The stairs down from the car park are the way in. Wear a hood. The water is not Queensland.
