Noosa Heads is a classic chain of right-hand point breaks wrapping around the northern side of Noosa National Park headland on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast. When a clean northeast or east cyclone swell wraps in, it produces some of the longest, most elegant peeling walls in Australia a true longboard paradise that’s widely regarded as one of the best small-wave point setups on the east coast.

​

The Break Sections 
Five distinct rights step down the headland over mixed sand and rock, often linking when bigger.
* First Point:The most accessible and crowded. Soft, mellow, perfectly peeling rights that run for hundreds of metres the ultimate longboard wave and home of the Noosa Festival of Surfing.  
* Johnsons / Little Cove & National Park (Boiling Pot) Faster, more powerful takeoffs (especially the steep, sucky Boiling Pot) that feed into long, sectiony walls capable of connecting all the way through to First Point.  
* Tea Tree Bay: The jewel. Long, tapering, high performance rights that hold shape beautifully and can throw hollow sections on the right banks and tide.  
Granite Bay: Furthest out and most exposed. Often the least crowded and strongest of the points, catching more swell with solid walls and occasional barrels.

​

Best Conditions
* Season: Summer to autumn (especially December–April cyclone season) for the NE–E swells that make the points fire. Winter can deliver cleaner conditions but the points often sit flatter while the southern beach breaks work.  
* Swell: Northeast to east (best on clean NE–E cyclone or long-period east swells).  
* Wind: South to southwest / west (offshore).  
* Tide: Mid to high preferred for the best shape and coverage over the rocks; low tide can get shallow and expose ledges.
