Sunshine Coast Surfing
The Sunshine Coast is renowned for having some of the best surfing conditions across the 120-plus surf spots.
In the hub of Noosa, experienced and newbie surfers alike can enjoy the surf. Noosa National Park is great for those with advanced skills. The waves can grow as tall as 12 feet and could carry you all the way down to Noosa Main Beach. The Coastal walking track of the national park will lead you to Tea Tree Bay after about 10 to 15 minutes where you’ll find the Sunshine Coast’s best waves. The waves are fast and fun, sometimes powering up to six feet. But if you want the biggest waves in town, trek a little deeper into the national park to Granite Bay. This surf spot faces a different direction than most others. You’ll find that when the waters are calm elsewhere, Granite Bay is picking up giant swells! Amateurs can learn to surf at Noosa Main Beach. It’s the only north-facing beach on the Sunshine Coast so the waves are gentle and protected from wind.
If you’re keen to continue surfing Queensland, head further north. Surfing is not normally considered in the northern part of Queensland. The Great Barrier Reef runs along the northern coastline and blocks out most of the swells. The last of the surfable waves end in the waters around 1770 and Agnes Waters. You may find some impressive waves on the outer reef of Far North Queensland. The best waves to surf up here are a very well-guarded secret. They’re hard to find and even when someone does discover a decent break, they won’t share their secret spot with anyone else!
