Tallows (Cosy Corner) surf forecast
Byron Bay · New South Wales · Australia
The north end of Tallow Beach on the south side of Cape Byron, where Cosy Corner sits under the headland. It faces the open south-east swell, so it is the most consistent beach near Byron, with powerful A-frames that can close out on bigger days. The corner is sheltered from north-east winds, which makes it the place to go when the bay is blown out.
