Australia, being the world’s largest island, has no shortage of water and the continent’s coast hosts a variety of water sports that are unequaled anywhere on the planet. There is exceptional scuba diving, snorkeling, deep-sea fishing for marine monsters, waterskiing, sailing and above all, Australia can be considered the surfing capital of the world.
The Gold Coast of Queensland may be a paradise for surfers with 40 miles of white sand beaches offering reef and point breaks suitable for both novice and experienced riders alike. The surf here is consistent with nice daily breaks, but in times of cyclones and fierce east winds, the swell can grow to awesome proportions.
New South Wales has some of the most consistent waves in the country and it is, no doubt, why New South Wales has produced so many of Australia’s world champion surfers. The surf in NSW is best in the summer and early fall, but the entire coast has good surf year around and there are a multitude of beach, point and reef breaks.
Both Queensland and New South Wales is very surfer oriented and hosts many surfing schools and package surfing tours taking in a variety of spots and conditions.
