Tea Tree Bay surf forecast

Noosa Heads · Queensland · Australia

Open the live forecast →

The best-known of the Noosa points, a right that peels down a boulder-lined point into a sandy bay inside the national park. An outside reef and a sand bar that changes through the season shape it; it gets steeper and hollower toward lower tide. Needs an east to north-east cyclone swell and south-east wind, and it is crowded whenever it works.
