Surf Lessons Coolangatta/Greenmount
One of the safest beaches on the Gold Coast
Many of the other beaches on the Gold Coast are open to the main swell and wind.
They can get large waves with strong currents and can consequently be quite dangerous.
The predominant strong wind and swell on the Gold Coast comes from the South East. The point at Snapper Rocks shelters Greenmount/Coolangatta from these dangers and as a result it is usually very safe.
We park our truck in the car park at the Greenmount Surf Club.
Car parking can be busy, so we recommend that you walk from your accommodation and avoid car park rage.
We carry out our lessons close to the shore, in waist deep water, to keep it safe, while the competition and experienced surfers go out deeper and catch the waves coming off the point.

Was the BEST Experience, both my 9 & 10 yr old boys begged me to come again 😂 they were quite good surprisingly. They managed to get up 6-7 times in a row there’s towards the end. It was cute, watching them Hi-Five each other…

Just had a lesson with Arthur this morning. I didn’t think I’d be able to get upright onto the board as I had failed miserably in a previous first lesson, but we did it…many times! Arthur was patient, kind and was very good with giving out tailored advice to both my partner…
