Overview
About this Spot
Tallebudgera Creekmouth is a surf spot located in Queensland, Australia. This spot is known for its consistent waves, making it a reliable choice for surfers looking to catch some action. The waves break both left and right, providing options for different surfing styles. The bottom is sandy, which is generally forgiving for surfers of all levels. The spot works well on all tides, so you can plan your surf session without worrying too much about the tide schedule. The waves here are typically less than 50 meters in length, which makes it a good spot for short rides. While the spot is often empty, it’s important to be mindful of localism and respect the locals who frequent the area. The creekmouth picks up the swell effectively, and the wall helps form some nice peaks. On bigger days, you can jump off the wall to save yourself the paddle out. However, be cautious of rips and undertow, as well as rocks that can be present in the area. The location is just left of the Tallebudgera Surf Club, which is situated on the Gold Coast Highway. Parking can be tricky, and it’s advised not to park at Burleigh and walk around the headland due to potential issues with local surfers. The surrounding scenery is beautiful, with the Burleigh headland offering a backdrop full of wildlife and trees. When surfing here, always check the surf etiquette, especially in crowded spots, and make sure to assess your skills before paddling out to ensure the conditions match your surfing level. Remember to check the surf forecast and report before heading out, and consider using a map or webcam to get a better idea of the current conditions. Respect the locals.
