A right-hand point break at the southern end of the Gold Coast, where the famous Superbank sand bottom begins. East and south-east swells wrap around the rocks and, on the best days, run for hundreds of metres towards Greenmount and Kirra. The south-east trades blow offshore here. It hosts a world tour event every year, so expect a crowded, very competitive line-up.
