Burleigh Heads

Burleigh Heads produces Australia's most reliable right-hand barrel, breaking over volcanic rock with a 0.8-second faster tube ride than the average point break. Its powerful wave face reaches speeds of 3.5 metres per second during a 6-foot swell, outperforming #7 Torquay for raw intensity. Experienced surfers consistently rank Burleigh among the nation's top three barrelling waves, with 40% of winter swells delivering rideable barrels.
