North coast ocean access

If you had a choice between Sandon River bar, Brooms Head beach launch, Yamba bar or Evans Head bar, which would you choose as being the safest and easiest?  Boat is a 6.5m plate if it makes a difference.

Being in Sydney I don't have much experience with bar crossings, they do worry me, so take this into account. My pick is none of the above. Winnie Water beach launch into the lagoon is what I would do. I used to chat to a bloke that launched a similar sized boat without too many issues there. He noted that the sand is soft so be quick launching and retrieving your boats if launching from there; apart from that it's pretty safe.

Thanks Rob.  I'm actually heading away for 2 weeks, first week at Wooli, therefore will most likely use the lagoon at Minnie that week.  Second week, we are staying at Brooms Head which is a bit further north and probably about an hour and a half back to the lagoon at Minnie.  Hence why looking for a way out further north.
