About this Spot

North Burleigh is a surf spot located in Queensland, Australia. Known for its consistent waves, North Burleigh offers both left and right waves, making it a versatile spot for surfers. The surf spot is characterized by its sandy bottom and is surfable at all tides. It is considered a regional classic, attracting surfers of all levels due to its manageable conditions under 3 feet. However, when the waves exceed 3 feet, the spot becomes quite heavy and unpredictable, demanding more skill and caution from surfers. The spot is home to some of the best shore breaks on the Gold Coast, with waves that can suck up significantly, providing thrilling rides for those who are prepared. North Burleigh is also known for hosting surf life-saving competitions, particularly on Sundays, adding to the vibrant surf culture of the area. To reach North Burleigh, drive to Burleigh Heads and head north until you arrive at the North Burleigh Surf Club. If you find yourself in Miami, you’ve gone too far. The spot is generally uncrowded, offering a more relaxed surfing experience compared to other popular Gold Coast locations. When planning your surf session, it’s important to check the surf forecast and report to ensure optimal conditions. Additionally, surfers should be mindful of the surf etiquette, especially in crowded spots, and always check their skills before paddling out to ensure the conditions match their surfing level. Respect the locals.
