Magnificent May Daze On Queensland’s Gold Coast
Queensland, Australia, has long been the destination of many a surfer’s search for the perfect wave.
There are three distinct surf regions in Queensland.
In order of popularity there’s the Gold Coast located at the extreme southern end of the state at the Queensland/New South Wales border; there’s the Sunshine Coast, stretching north of Brisbane to Double Island Point, just past Noosa; finally, there are the islands. These include the near shore islands off the Gold and Sunshine Coasts (namely Straddie, Fraser and others) up to and including the many small islands and cays offshore from Gladstone and up to Cape Yorke.
The Gold Coast has it all, world class pointbreaks and myriad of punchy, often hollow beach breaks. For surfers it is the complete package.
The five most renowned breaks are Snapper, Kirra, Currumbin, Burleigh and T.O.S. Burleigh and T.O.S were the standouts in the late May swell, but just about everywhere had waves.
Further north on the Gold Coast the sun was shining, the wind offshore all day and the swell size a super fun, accessible and clean 4-7ft.
The banks at Burleigh were near perfect. T.O.S also delivered.
An A list cast threaded every available barrell at T.O.S as it turned on for multiple and magnificent May days.
