Greenmount is a classic right-hand point break on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia, sitting at the southern end of Coolangatta near Snapper Rocks and Coolangatta Beach.

Quick description

Wave type: Long, peeling right-hand point break
Best for: Longboarding, intermediates to advanced surfers, and anyone who likes smooth, drawn-out rides
Bottom: Mostly sand and rock reef influence near the point
Conditions: Works best on S to SE swell with westerly or offshore winds
Wave character: Fast enough to be fun, but generally more forgiving and less heavy than the nearby super-waves at Snapper

What it’s like

Greenmount is known for its clean, rolling rights that wrap around the point and can offer long rides when the swell lines up. It’s often a bit more mellow than the famous breaks just up the coast, making it a favorite for surfers who want quality waves without quite as much intensity.

Best surf season

Autumn to winter usually brings the most consistent and clean conditions
Spring and summer can still produce fun surf, especially with smaller east coast swells

Crowd and vibe

Greenmount is popular and can get busy, especially when Snapper and the Superbank are working. The vibe is generally relaxed, but etiquette matters because it’s a point break with a lot of regulars and visitors.

Watch out for

Strong currents on bigger swells
Crowds and competing for waves
Rips and rocks near the point
Heavy bank changes after big swell events
