The next 7 days. Each day's wave height, green on a good day for expert surfers. A spot that does not suit them is tagged with the level it suits and never goes green for them. The best of the spots that stay in Yamba each day wears a ★ Best badge, only on a Good day. 6 spots stay in another town: within your drive, they count for Yamba too.
