Missingham Bridge

A great wave to learn how to surf, every kid who grew up in Ballina learnt to surf here. Never gets over 2-3 foot and needs a big swell to break. Cyclone swells or when Ballina's beaches are maxing out there will be a wave here.

Atmosphere:
Small peeling right hander that breaks on a sandbar and runs into a small beach. Great Malibu/SUP wave and good spot for learners.

Additional Info:
Park down near the Shaws Bay caravan park & walk up the small beach towards the bridge. The wave breaks out in front of Missingham Bridge so paddle out at the bridge end of the beach. Look out for learners, the surf school often uses at this spot.

A small wave that breaks in the mouth of the Richmond River, straight in front of Missingham Bridge.
