About this Spot

Noosa Groyne is a surf spot located in Queensland, Australia. This spot is known for its sandy bottom and offers both left and right waves, making it accessible to surfers of all levels. The waves here sometimes break and are generally less than 50 meters in length. The surf spot can accommodate all tides, which adds to its versatility for surfers looking to catch waves at different times of the day. Noosa Groyne can get quite crowded when conditions are favorable, so it’s important to be mindful of surf etiquette and respect the locals. The area near the first rock wall is popular among bodyboarders and learners, making it a good place for beginners to start. However, it’s crucial to check your skills before paddling out to ensure that the spot and conditions match your surfing level. Parking can be a bit challenging, especially if you arrive late, so it’s advisable to lock your car and be prepared to drive around for a spot. Once parked, you can walk down one of the tracks past Hastings Street and into the forest to reach the beach. While surfing, be cautious of rips and undertows, and keep an eye out for rocks, especially near the rock wall where the best waves are often found when the swell is around three feet. Noosa Groyne is a great spot to learn to surf, with surf schools often operating in the area. Always check the surf forecast and report before heading out, and consider using a map or webcam to get a sense of the current conditions. Remember to respect the locals and always be aware of the surf etiquette when surfing crowded spots. Check your skills before paddling out to make sure the spot and conditions fit your surfing level.
