Kirra Beach

Point breakIntermediate to advanced

Kirra is a legendary right-hand point break known for producing some of the fastest, most hollow waves in the world — at its best it delivers long, screaming barrels over a sand-covered bottom. Part of the Superbank system, heavily dependent on sand accumulation from the Tweed River sand bypass. When it's on, it rivals Pipeline for barrel quality.
