Skill Level

  • •Who it's for: Beginner–Intermediate (longboard)
  • •Why: Gentle, long waves over a forgiving bottom make it accessible, but reef awareness is needed.

Hazards

  • •Rock bottom on the points
  • •No motorised craft in the national park section, boats cannot assist in an emergency here
  • •Crowds, Noosa is extremely popular year-round

Local Tips

  • •A longboard or mid-length is the ideal craft for the long, rolling walls.
  • •Arrive early, the national park access road fills up quickly and the line-up gets crowded by mid-morning.
