About this Spot

A-Bay is a surf spot located in Queensland, Australia. This spot is known for its serene environment and is often less crowded, making it an ideal location for surfers looking for some solitude. The beach is long and golden, with two points on each side, resembling a true bay. The best waves are found in the inside pockets. A-Bay provides both left and right waves, and the bottom is sandy. It is suitable for all levels of surfers and can be surfed at all tides. The waves are of regional classic quality, and the frequency is regular, with wave lengths typically less than 50 meters. When other spots are flat, A-Bay often has waves, similar to D-Bah on the Sunshine Coast. Surfers should be aware of rips and undertow, and there is a presence of sharks in the area. Parking is available at McAnally Drive, and from there, you can take the path into Noosa National Park and continue walking to reach the spot. Nearby surf spots include T-Tree Bay, Boiling Pot, Little Cove, Noosa First Point, and The Groin. It’s important to check the surf etiquette when the spot is crowded and to check your skills before paddling out to make sure the spot and conditions fit your surfing level. Respect the locals.
