MAIN BEACH SURFBOARD HIRE


MAIN BEACH is a beach and surf break that is always changing, some days it good some days it bad. Scattered sand banks can be found all through this area and picking up a lot more swell then the southern beaches. Good waves are easily accessible at Main Beach, Sheraton Mirage, Phillip Park (opposite Seaworld) and north all the way to The Spit.

Surfboard Hire Gold Coast regularly delivers surfboards to this area and we can help you out with a short term hire or for your whole holiday. There is plenty of accommodation at Main Beach ranging from Backpackers hostels to 5 and 6 star hotels .  If you are going to the beach there are Lifeguard Towers about every 500 metres through the Main Beach area plus the Southport Surf Lifesaving Club (Lifeguard Tower 40)  operates throughout the entire year. 

You will not find any surf shops in the Main Beach area if you need a rental surfboard or any information on the surf conditions please contact on Mobile 0410 400 800.

Gold Coast Beginner Surfing Beaches

Whatever level of surfer you are the Gold Coast will always deliver a great surfing wave. Unfortunately it might not be right on your doorstep but if you are prepared to travel you will find the best waves.

Currently if you head north to the Southport Spit you will find some nice sand banks and some fun waves. The Spit is always better when you get out, the left hand wave of the wall and and off the pumping jetty is good on the mid tide. At the southern end of the open beach there is a nice bank formed against the rock headland at Miami, there is not a lot of swell around but hit this bank on the high tide and you will get some waves.

If you keep heading south check out Currumbin (The Alley), this is the most popular learn to surf beach on the Gold Coast and is perfect to catch nice slow moving white waves that can run for up to 100 metres. The next pick is either Greenmount or Rainbow Bay, hits these breaks when the southerly wind is blowing and you will have perfect offshore conditions all day. Definitely worth the effort for a surf or day trip if you are staying around Broadbeach or Surfers Paradise.

Surfboard Rental is not always easy at these locations, they're are some shops that have some beginner boards but they are not right on the beach. The best thing to do is hire a surfboard from us at Surfboard Hire Gold Coast and then you will have the right board with you and you won't miss out on any waves.
