    Redhead - New South Wales Redhead features a sandy beach break with both right and left-hand waves, offering ordinary power. The spot is accessible from the Pacific Highway, with instant access to the main beach and additional beach breaks reachable by 4WD. It works well at all tides, particularly with southeast to northeast swells and favorable winds from the north, northwest, and west. This popular surf destination, located about 10 kilometers north, boasts an extensive stretch of squeaky sand and is known for its localism. While it can get crowded on weekends, weekdays often see fewer surfers. The beach provides decent protection from summer sea breezes, making it a reliable choice for catching waves. Various banks, including Little Beach, Shark Tower, and Big Beach, offer opportunities for exploration. Conditions are best suited for intermediate surfers, as the waves can become intense when the swell is strong.
