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.
Point Break
At a point break, the shoreline juts out into the water to form a headland. A wave that is lengthy, well-formed, and unlikely to close out or break in front of itself is created when a wave strikes a headland or pier and starts to peel down the extended shoreline. Point breaks typically only have one takeoff point and only travel in one direction, so you might have to wait in line to catch a wave. At these specific surf spots, quality prevails over quantity.
