About this Spot

Evans Head is a surf spot located in New South Wales, Australia. Known for its regional classic waves, this spot offers a right-hand wave direction with a sandy bottom, making it accessible for surfers of all levels. The wave length ranges from 50 to 150 meters, providing a decent ride when conditions are right. The best time to surf here is during medium and high tides. The spot is relatively uncrowded, giving surfers plenty of space to enjoy the waves. However, it’s important to be aware of the local conditions, as there can be rips and undertow, and the presence of sharks is noted in the area. The surf spot is accessible by turning off the Pacific Highway south of Ballina, and it is the main beach of the town. Nearby surf spots include Woody Head, South Wall, Missingham Bridge, Ballina North Wall, and Shelly Beach. As with any surf spot, it’s crucial to check the surf etiquette when surfing crowded spots and to assess your skills before paddling out to ensure the conditions match your surfing level. Respect the locals.
