Gold Coast
The Mecca of board riding is the Gold Coast. There are waves for every ability level along the 57-kilometer-long stretch of pristine coastline, from waist-high for beginner surfers to one of the most famous breaks in the world, Superbank, which is a favorite among the more experienced surfers.
Beach Break
Areas in the ocean where the waves break over a sandy bottom are known as beach breaks. The waves at beach breaks are constantly changing because the sand is often shifting because of tides, currents, and storms. You can be surfing flawless peeling lefts one day and close-out waves the next at the same surf spot. The surf break could be in one location one day and 200 yards along the shoreline the next. The constantly shifting bottom produces a very unpredictable and dynamic surf break. Because they have a softer and safer bottom than reef breaks, beach breaks are excellent places for beginning surfers to practice.
