Noosa First Point is one of Australia’s most famous and stylish longboard waves, located in Noosa Heads, Queensland on the Sunshine Coast. It sits at the point break inside Noosa National Park, where the headland shelters the bay and helps create clean, rolling waves.

What it’s like

Wave type: Long, peeling right-hand point break
Best for: Longboards, noseriders, and intermediate-to-advanced surfers
Wave quality: Known for its smooth, mellow, and highly rideable walls
Vibe: Classic, laid-back Queensland point break with a strong surf culture

Conditions

Works best with solid swell from the east to southeast
Prefers light winds, especially west or southwest/offshore winds
The wave can be small and playful on smaller swells, but when it’s on, it can offer long, connected rides

Why it’s special

One of the best-known longboard waves in the country
Offers a scenic surf setting with clear water, beaches, and national park surroundings
Very popular, so it can be crowded, especially when conditions are good

Things to keep in mind

It can become busy and competitive
More suited to smooth trimming and classic style than aggressive shortboarding
Respect for local surfers and good lineup etiquette is important
