Big Surf Bells Beach 2011
Australia is renown as one of the world’s premier surfing destinations. Its 37,000km
coastline is blessed with beach, reef and point breaks which challenge the most
experienced surfers. For the less adept, there are countless easy-rolling swells that
beginners can paddle onto safely and with confidence. As a historical home of surfing
with many world champions and famous beaches, it is a worthy destination for those
undertaking the RM Surf Experience/journey. As Australia contains hundreds of
fabulous surf locations, we can only present a mere selective handful of the best. So let's
start from Queensland heading south and then follow a counterclockwise direction
around the continent.

Australia’s famous surfing waves are born from the Pacific Ocean in the east, the Indian
Ocean in the west and the Southern Ocean in the south . There are literally hundreds
of famous surf breaks and locations from the iconic Bells Beach, near Torquay, the
gateway to Victoria’s Surf Coast on the Great Ocean Road to New South Wales with
Byron Bay, Newcastle, Sydney and its south coast offering spectacular swells.
And don't forget Queensland with Burleigh Heads, Snapper Rocks - the Gold Coast and
Noosa on the Sunshine Coast. In South Australia, there are also great surf beaches
which dot the Fleurieu, Yorke and Eyre peninsulas as well as the Limestone Coast. In
Western Australia, Perth, Margaret River and Esperance are home to an abundance of
surf beaches. And what about Tasmania with its Southern Ocean swells in Hobart,
Bruny Island, Launceston, Devonport and Marrawah. Whereever you go in the famous
land you are bound to find a wave to yourself on Australia's uncrowded and pristine
coastal beaches.

The point break at Noosa Heads on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland is one of the best
and most photogenic long-board breaks in the world. The point at Noosa is capable of
producing a genuine 200 metre ride on its best days. In a decent swell especially there’s
always a big crew of locals riding it who really know how to “walk the plank”, but
when it’s smaller it’s perfect for beginners – a long, easy-rolling cruise.

Snapper Rocks in Queensland is a sand bottom point break considered to be a world
renowned surfing spot on the Gold Coast. Located at Rainbow Bay, Snapper is home to
the world-famous ‘Super Bank’, regarded in surfing circles as the longest, most
consistent and most hollow wave in the world. The swell here often reaches six to eight
feet, and one good, clean wave can transport you from Snapper to Kirra, a distance of
almost two kilometres. Snapper Rocks hosts elite international surfing events such as the
Quiksilver and Roxy Pro, Rip Curl Masters, and MP Classic. It is also a favourite
surfing spot of local world champs, Mick Fanning, Joel Parkinson and Stephanie
Gilmore, who enjoy nothing more than surfing their own ‘local’ break when they’re at
home.
