The Wave

South offshore and east-family swell are the cleanest setup.

Medium tide is the safest named call, though the spot stays broadly workable through the tide cycle.

🏄

Lineup Guide

Access is via the Kirra/Coolangatta beachfront and the groyne line; watch the exposed sea wall, rocks, rips, and crowd pressure when the sand line is on.

Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
