Boulders
This is the only recommended location that professional, and highly experienced surfers should visit, no matter how gorgeous you think that it is here. In fact, many people don’t even know this location exists and remains a mild secret to many people in the surfing community.The spot can be found on Moreton Island by Cape Moreton but getting there can even prove to be a mission in itself since you’ll need to take a 4x4 vehicle with you on the ferry. You can expect swells between one and three metres on a good day but beware of shark season which falls around the month of September.
Main Beach
Suitable for surfers of all skill level, Main Beach is easily one of the most popular spots for surfing in the region and offers and gentle and relaxing kind of break which is perfect for those taking to the board for the first time.
Stanley Rodriguez, a Surfer and travel writer at Best Australian Writers explains: “With this in mind, there is a tonne of surfing schools in this area so more experienced surfers may want to steer clear or go somewhere a little more remote and quieter. However, there is a tonne of fun attractions around the local area, making this a place you can be sure that you’re never going to get bored.”
