Wurtulla

Edit Spot

About

You don't want to be anywhere else but here when it's on.

Atmosphere:
Most of my best ever surfs have been here...if there is enough swell and the wind isnt too bad it is an excellent wave - one of the best on the coast. Miles of relatively tourist free beach but the water crowds can get big. It's the type of spot where you can surf for half a day and get constant barrels.

Additional Info:
If it's on, the crowds will probably be epic. If you are pn the Sunshine Coast and there is swell about head straight for Wurtulla and stake out a spot before sunrise even. Some pretty hardcore locals in this area
