The spiritual home of Australian surfing, Bells Beach hosts the Rip Curl Pro on the famous right-hand point break that peels along the Bass Strait coastline. The Southern Ocean swells that power Bells are among the most consistent on earth, and the tides here — relatively gentle in range — are the metronome that sets the rhythm for surfing history.
