Gold Coast Surfing
Where better to start your Queensland surfing adventure than in one of the best surfing destinations in the world, the Gold Coast! From Tweed in the south, Stradbroke in the north and the aptly named Surfers Paradise in between it all, the world-class breaks are consistent for more than 50 kilometres along the coastline. So, rest assured you’ll find a wave perfect for you and your skill level.
The points of The Superbank are said to be the best spots for surfing on the Gold Coast. Stretching from Snapper Rocks to Greenmount Beach, The Superbank may just provide you with the longest wave you’ve ever surfed. Due to its consistency, it’s one of the most popular surf spots on the coast so you may be sharing the waves with several other surfers. However, if you follow surf etiquette it won’t be long before you’re riding the inside of a barrel halfway to Kirra. The Superbank is certainly for the more experienced surfers, however there are great breaks for those just starting out, especially along the quiet beaches of Broadbeach.
The closest surf breaks to Brisbane are the waves of Stradbroke Island. Point Lookout is the go-to for surfing in Straddie. Cylinder Beach offers both whitewater waves as well as green waves during higher tides. It’s a perfect destination if your travelling companions aren’t so keen on surfing the waves with you. The rest of the family can enjoy a refreshing swim in the patrolled area of the beach while you ride the waves. Once a decent swell is up, Cylinder Beach is a great surf spot for longboarders as well. Main Beach is the most easterly point in the whole of Queensland. It’s a popular surf beach on the island with decent breaks over the outer bar. The waves consistently hold a 200m wide double bar system and the inner bar is generally attached to the beach and cut by deep rip channels every 200m or so.
