Surf Nielsen's Beach

Nielsen's Beach - Queensland, Australia Nielsen's Beach features a beach break with both right and left waves, breaking over a sandy bottom interspersed with rocks. The spot is best surfed during mid to high tide, particularly on a rising tide, and works optimally during cyclone swells or clean days following strong easterly winds. While not a destination for dedicated surf trips, Nielsen's Beach offers consistent waves that help maintain your surfing fitness. The local vibe is relaxed, but respect is essential when the swell picks up, as crowds can swell, especially on weekends. The beach is easily accessible, located just a 20-minute drive from Bundaberg, with instant access from Nielsen's Caravan Park. In summer, expect a mix of experienced surfers and beginners, making it a lively spot. Don't forget your skateboard for the nearby mini ramp, adding to the beach's appeal.
