Surfing Gold Coast Kurrawa Beach

Kurrawa Beach could almost claim the title of Gold Coast surf capital. Its Surf Life Saving Club holds the annual Australian Surfing Championships. It's a favourite with boardriders throughout Australia and overseas.

The Gold Coast Surfing Academy is located at Kurrawa Beach and proudly proclaims that it is 'one of the BEST beaches in the world'. So there you have it, from a respected surfing authority.

The accommodation and commercial district at Broadbeach, overlooking Kurrawa Beach, already promotes itself as the new capital of the Gold Coast, Australia.

At least, you don't have to go far for Gold Coast food and action after riding the right and left beach breaks. You have the choice of a multitude of cafes and restaurants in close proximity to the beach. Enjoy! If you would prefer to cook for yourself, you'll find barbecue facilities are also available.

For the amateur surfer Kurrawa Beach is great when there is a minimum swell while the more experienced surfer usually prefers the big waves. Glance at the view while you're surfing the waves. From the imposing boardwalk on a sunny day the view is magical.

Surfers of all levels ride the clean barrels … it's picture perfect, and you can join the privileged all year round.

As with the majority of surfing options on the Gold Coast, Kurrawa Beach generally shows its best when the swell is easterly and the wind is offshore.

Conrad Jupiter's Casino towers over Kurrawa, so you may decide to try your luck. However, after you experience the surf you will already feel like a winner.
