Location guide

Gold Coast, Australia, is a renowned surfing hotspot worldwide, boasting some of the planet's most impressive stretches of surf-friendly coastline. With open beaches that create personalized swells for every proficiency level, it is a great hub for local and international surfers alike. The water tends to be warm, averaging around 21-27 degrees Celsius throughout the year. When the offshore winds coincide with a rising swell, you are in for an exceptional surfing experience, Diamond-encrusted, azure waves curling into tumbling white foam, that serve up a memorable ride. The jewel in the Gold Coast surfing crown is without a doubt, Snapper Rocks- well known for activating first during the swells, producing professional-grade surf conditions. This is the starting point for a 2-kilometer-long ride on a single wave that is lovingly referred to as the "Superbank". Rolling from Snapper Rocks towards Rainbow Bay, then Greenmount and onto Kirra, a surfer can surf this distance on a good day when the swell and winds align. These sections can create world-class barrels that impassioned surfers especially cherish. Burleigh Heads holds its own charm when it comes to surfing. A right-hand point break, it offers long, fast barrels off the point, a fun, shifting peak in the middle, and a quality beach break down the end known as The Cove. Strong swells can pose some challenges even for expert surfers, but the breath-taking view of the Gold Coast skyline compensates, making the ride an unforgettable experience. A busy spot, it can get pretty crowded, so it's essential to show good surfing etiquette and respect the locals. But the Gold Coast is not just about these famous points. The coastline fringing the city boasts numerous beach breaks with varying degrees of exposure to swells and winds. These locations can therefore offer more suitable conditions for less experienced surfers or simply more solitude for those who prefer to avoid the crowds. Locations like Nobby's Beach, Miami, Mermaid Beach, and many others can produce excellent surfing conditions when the right elements align. Whether you are a seasoned professional or a beginner, the Gold Coast definitely has something for everyone. The awe-inspiring quality of the surf locations, coupled with the vibrant surf culture, make this place an unforgettable surfing destination.
