About Fingal Head, NSW
Fingal Head, often just called Fingal, is a town and headland in Australia on the New South Wales far north coast in Tweed Shire Council, near the border with Queensland and the Gold Coast. The Tweed River runs northwards close to the coast for about 6km before reaching its mouth at Point Danger. This forms a spit about 500-800 metres wide and Fingal is about half way along, the section past Fingal is called Letitia Spit.
The headland itself is a low hill covered by scrub, and by grass on the exposed ocean side. Walking tracks lead over it and on top is a small 7 metre lighthouse which was built in 1872 and is a traditional round design and stone construction. The area is a popular holiday resort for families, with miles of sandy beaches, fishing and water activities.

That is a great composition. The super long exposure works a treat here. Last time I frequented this spot the sea was so savage I couldn't get close to the edge without my filters becoming totally drenched ><

Lovely mate, and I can appreciate the 'straight into the sun' exposure battle.
I also learned something. Fingal Head is not the same place as Fingal Bay, as I've never ever stumbled across anything as amazing as that in Fingal Bay (though I did manage to body board some of the biggest waves in my life).
Would love to see more from this location if you have any? :)

This is outstanding. I can see what you mean by an exposure battle, but you have absolutely nailed it. Technical perfection, mate, and the composition is spot on.

Nice work mate. Looks like the same clouds on the horizon I got at Burleigh. It looks like an amazing location and I can see why its a battle with the exposures. You certainly won this time.

Amazingly beautiful purple tones and long-exposure waves... would love to see a bit more sky... but the foreground is seriously cool... so the minimal sky doesn't bother me at all!
