BWB - I just surfed here about two weeks ago. Wave size changes regularly, and quickly. On days when it got big, the waves went from waist to head high suddenly, so you really have to watch carefully, or you'll get caught inside and sent through the washing machine. In my week of surfing at Big Wave Bay, most of the waves were closed out, especially the big ones. I didn't have any problems with the Hong Kong locals, but did with a Aussie kid.

Getting there is easier than anyone has described so far, since there are minibuses running straight from the MTR station to Big Wave Bay. Take the MTR island line, and get off at Shau Kei Wan, use the A2 exit, and take an immediately left. There are minibuses that run straight to Big Wave Bay, and cost $9-10 HKD. You don't need to take the number 9 bus to Shek O, then a taxi. I was able to take my shortboard on the minibus, too. You can also take the minibuses back from Big Wave Bay to the MTR.

hiring - in reply to the person below me, there is a shop at bwb called surf 360, impossible to miss on the way down, they do many boards. Ask for nelson or waterman, he should tell you when the best day to go is.

Going to Big Wave Bay? - If you want to find Big Wave Bay, ask a local who speaks English to write down on a piece of paper "Big Wave Bay" in Cantonese. This will help you get a cheap taxi up and over the hill past Shek-O. But you will need to take the subway or bus. I forgot the name of the town down below. But people can easily direct you to a bus. You don't need to bring a wetsuit. And you can rent good boards from Mrs. Fo in the restaurant at the beach.
