About this Spot

Kemp Beach is a surf spot located in Queensland, Australia. This beach offers both left and right waves, making it a versatile spot for surfers. The waves break over a sandy bottom, and the best conditions are typically found at medium to high tide. The quality of the waves is generally normal, and the spot is suitable for surfers of all levels, from beginners to more experienced riders. The wave length is usually less than 50 meters, and the spot is not very crowded, so you can enjoy your surf without too much competition for waves. One thing to be cautious of is the presence of sharks in the area. It’s also important to be prepared for challenging conditions, as the waves can break very close to the shore, sometimes in just a few inches of water. This means you need to be ready to handle some tough situations, like dropping into a steep wave face and landing on dry sand. Kemp Beach is located just south of Yeppoon, past Double Heads. When planning your surf session, be sure to check the surf forecast and report to get the most out of your experience. It’s also a good idea to look at a map or webcam to see the current conditions. Remember to respect the locals and always check the surf etiquette when surfing crowded spots. Make sure to check your skills before paddling out to ensure that the spot and conditions fit your surfing level.
