Surfing at Agnes Water

As many surfers have discovered it is not the size of the wave that is solely responsible for a great surfing experience but a combination of factors. Agnes Water has got the X factor that many surfers have commented on. What is it then that attracts people from all over the world? Let us introduce you to Queensland's most recognised northerly surf beach offering waves generated in the Coral Sea form the northern tip of Frazer Island and ousted in as it is forced off the very southern tip of the Great Barrier Reef's Lady Elliot Island. It's also the first surf beach when traveling south.

So are you are looking at the map yet to see yourself? The water is warm and clear with a selection of good beach breaks and the famous Agnes Water Point. We have a great set up to provide waves for beginners and intermediate surfers. The wave situation goes up a notch when the wet season arrives with low pressure systems forming in the Coral Sea and taking the swell to the next level.

Further to this, Agnes Water is a small country costal town with a large appetite for being friendly. So being welcomed here is a day to day part of life. Finding your place in the surf of Agnes Water is unlike anywhere in Queensland. Let's say you have more warm water per acreage here than you would experience elsewhere.
