The southern breakwall of the Tweed River can have some peaky lefts in NE swells and offers some summer wind respite, followed by average but uncrowded beachies all the way south to Fingal Head. This bouldery point relies on sand to fill in the gaps and seems to prefer a bit of N in the E swell. Rolling walls and shoulders when small, then gets hollow at headhigh before maxing out at about 10ft faces. Offshore is Cook Island where some slab reef action keeps the local lids happy.
Some local vibe when it's good which isn't very often. The long paddle to Cook is very, very sharky.

This graph shows the percentage of days that had a ridable wind swell (7 seconds period or more) or groundswell (10 seconds period or more) of over 3ft. It also shows the dominant wind direction. Not all of these days will neccessarily give great surf, and very short lived wind swells or longer period secondary swells may produce surf not recorded, but it gives a clear idea of the seasonal trend and a rough guide to the chances of scoring something ridable.
