About Kirra
Kirra is a surf spot on the southern Gold Coast of Queensland, Australia, next to the town of Coolangatta and a short way along the coast from Snapper Rocks and Greenmount. The wave wraps around Kirra Point and a rock wall and runs to the right as a surfer rides it towards the shore. It has long been described as one of the finest waves in Australia, and it now sits at the far end of the long sandbank known as the Superbank, which was formed after sand began to be pumped across the mouth of the Tweed River. That sand is generally credited with joining the once separate spots along this coast, and is also said to have changed the way Kirra itself breaks. The biggest swells often come from tropical cyclones in the Coral Sea, typically from around December to March.
