Coolum – Point Perry is a scenic, exposed point-style surf spot on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland. It sits near Coolum Beach and is known for its rocky headland setting, consistent open-ocean swell exposure, and beautiful coastal views.

What it’s like

Wave type: Mostly a beach/point hybrid with waves wrapping around the headland.
Best for: Surfers who enjoy a more natural, coastal setup and can handle a spot that may be a bit fickle depending on swell angle and sand movement.
Wave quality: Can offer fun, clean rights and sometimes lefts when the conditions line up.
Crowds: Usually less of a marquee named break than nearby headline spots, but it can still get busy when conditions are good.

Conditions

Best swell: Needs a swell direction that wraps around the point well.
Wind: Works best with offshore or light winds, typical of many Sunshine Coast breaks.
Tide: Can be tide-sensitive, with the best setup varying depending on sand and swell size.

Hazards / considerations

Rocks and reefy sections near the point/headland.
Strong currents can occur, especially with larger swell.
Watch for changing sandbars and local hazards after big swells.

Atmosphere

A classic Sunshine Coast surf location with a relaxed local feel and a very picturesque backdrop.
Popular with surfers, bodyboarders, and beachgoers who want a more natural, less urban surf environment.
