Agnes Water
Edit SpotAbout
Secret Surfing Spor only breaks during cyclone
season ... 80 degree long glass walls! Fraser Island is the world's largest sand island. It is World Heritage Listed and has become an eco tourism venue
Atmosphere:
Agnes is excellent.
If you get tired of surfing you can go fishing. Excellent fishing!
Additional Info:
Accomodation: There is a backpacker place next to the main shops at the round about.
The main beach is 10min walk from the town itself. This is the best place to catch a wave. The entire beach is good when there is a <1m swell. When it gets larger than 1m ... stay at the point near the main beach.
Town of 1770 is 10min drive up the peninsular from Agnes Waters. The tip of the peninsular has excellent waves when the swell is >1.5m. I have not surfed it as it seems suicidal with all the rocks underwater. You are better off fishing for tuna there
