When you’re too old or too tired to deal with the menacing crowds at the pass, go beyond the headland to Watego. Friendly crowds and multiple peaks (mostly right) compensate for the chronic lack of parking. On a good summer day, don’t even try driving there after 9AM. Leave your car at the pass, and take the well marked half mile trail from the parking lot to Watego.
Oh and there's the sharks
Last year in October I had a 10ft Shark swim under my board here (supposedly a White). It flanked the line of surfers and passed between us and the beach. Great place but sharky.

Give it a miss
Not good for mals or short boards or lids, head south to ballina or lennox for some fun. the banks are all cactus and it hardly breaks anymore
