Snapper Rocks

Snapper Rocks is the famous Gold Coast point break at Point Danger, with a powerful right-hand line that feeds into the Superbank and a world-class crowd scene. Autumn and winter are the best seasons, south to southwest wind is the clean lane, and east swell is the key trigger. It is a highly consistent surf spot, but rips, rocks, and heavy lineup pressure are part of the package. Get the latest surfing conditions, forecast, and tide details for Snapper Rocks in Queensland.
