Queensland
Queensland is an Australian state in the northeast of the country with a coastline of almost 7,000 km and famous for its surf spots. In the sea off the coast is located the Great Barrier Reef. The worlds biggest 2,300 km long ecosystem includes thousands of reefs and hundreds of islands.
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.
