9th March 2011 Wednesday Bell's Beach

Not a very nice day today...very cloudy and cool.. we decided to go and check out the famous BELL'S BEACH.... Its located  30 kilometres from Geelong, off the Great Ocean Road. 71 km south-west of Melbourne, but about only 4 kl from where we are staying...

The Great Ocean Road has dozens of breaks along its coast and draws a steady stream of surfers all year round. But  they say Bells Beach  is the most famous  , a much-loved icon of Australia’s surf scene where the Rip Curl Pro, part of the ASP World Championship Tour, is held every Easter.

The beach is flanked by sandy cliffs and supposed to be large ocean swells, its a small bay between two headlands facing the Southern Ocean.


Bells Beach has waves of three to four metres on good surfing days rising to as high as five metres depending on tide and wind conditions but we were really disappointed when we got there to find it quite flat...





But we can say we have been there now...
