About Burleigh Heads
Burleigh Heads is a suburb on the Gold Coast of Queensland, Australia, with a rocky headland of national park at its southern end. The wave wraps around that headland over rock and sand and runs to the right as a surfer rides it towards the shore, and it is often described as fast and hollow, though shorter than the long sand-built waves further south at Kirra and Snapper Rocks. Tallebudgera Creek reaches the sea just beyond the point. The best surf generally arrives in the warmer months, most often from around December to March, when tropical cyclones in the Coral Sea send swell towards the coast. Professional contests have been held here over many years. The wave is considered to break close to the rocks, so it is widely regarded as a spot for experienced surfers, and it is usually crowded when it is working.
