3 curated Surfing spots in Australia, each with its own note and source.
New South Wales · Best time: Year-round · Beginner
The Pass is a right-hand point that runs 150 to 200 metres on E and NE swell; experienced surfers dominate the main point while the inside section is the learners' zone. Tallows is the most consistent break in the bay, open to swell from S through NE. At Main Beach, big winter SE swells mostly produce currents.

Queensland · Best time: Year-round · All levels
A chain of sand-bottom right points. Snapper Rocks and Kirra form the Superbank on E swell — long tubing rights with shelter from southerly wind, and almost always packed. Currumbin Alley is the most protected spot on the southern Gold Coast and the cruisy longboard and beginner wave, busy as well. Burleigh Heads is a slab with steep walls, firmly a locals' wave.

Western Australia · Best time: Oct–Mar · All levels
Trigg is the most reliable break within easy reach of the city centre: the northern point for intermediates and up, the beach stretch for all abilities — crowds and some localism included. Scarborough sits in Rottnest Island's swell shadow, is unreliable as a result, and suits beginners on small swell. The power arrives in autumn and winter, not summer.
