Burleigh Heads

Point breakIntermediate to advanced

Burleigh Heads is a world-class right-hand point break wrapping around a rocky headland into a perfectly shaped sandbar, delivering punchy, barrelling waves with a steep drop and fast wall. It has a devoted local crew and regularly produces perfect waves during cyclone swells. One of Queensland's most consistent quality breaks.
