SURF ATLAS/ AUSTRALIA
Snapper Rocks
🇦🇺 Gold Coast, QLD, Australia
The start of the Superbank — the longest sand-bottomed right point on Earth. On a solid cyclone swell a single wave can reel more than a kilometre from Snapper through to Kirra. Sand pumped from the Tweed River keeps the bank flawless, which is exactly why it draws the most crowded lineup on the planet.
