Surf Pottsville

Pottsville - Gold Coast, Australia Pottsville features a sandy bottom sandbar with waves breaking both right and left. This spot is best accessed by following the signs along the Gold Coast Highway to Pottsville Beach. It offers instant access with a short walk (<5 min) and works well at low and mid tide, particularly during falling tide conditions. This laid-back surf spot is often quiet, making it ideal for those seeking solitude away from the crowds, especially outside the busy summer season. While nearby locations like Ocean Shores and Golden Beach may attract more surfers, Pottsville can surprise you with well-shaped beach breaks, particularly near the river mouth and walls. However, be cautious of rips and occasional shark activity. With few surfers on weekdays and weekends, Pottsville is a hidden gem for a tranquil surf session, provided you stay alert to the unpredictable nature of beach breaks.
