Description

Burleigh Heads - Gold Coast, Australia Burleigh Heads features a right-hand point break with a sandy bottom interspersed with rocks. The waves are known for being hollow, fast, and fun, particularly at heights of 1.8 to 2 meters (6ft+) during rising tide conditions. Access is easy, with public access available and a short walk to the rock point. This iconic surf spot is renowned for its stunning scenery, including the nearby Pandanus Trees National Park. While it can get crowded, especially on weekends, the localized vibe allows for interactions with friendly locals. Surfers often paddle from the Tallebudgera rivermouth when conditions are optimal, but be cautious of the rips and rocks. The sand necessary for ideal wave formation can vary, making each session unique. Despite the challenges, Burleigh Heads remains a must-visit for those seeking exhilarating rides in a picturesque setting.
