Currumbin Alley

Creek mouth breakBeginner to intermediate

Currumbin Alley is a popular wave at the mouth of Currumbin Creek, where an outgoing tidal push combines with ocean swell to produce consistent, fun waves that peel along the creek entrance. One of the Gold Coast's most reliable beginner-to-intermediate spots, working well even in small swell and a favourite with longboarders.
