Snapper Rocks is probably the most crowded surf zone on planet Earth. Every March, the place plays host to the Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast, the first event of the WSL Championship Tour season – a time of year when tropical cyclones whip up serious swell, producing the dredging rifling rights for which Snapper is known.
But during the offseason, Snapper has a gentler, longboard-friendly side. It looks more like its cousin Noosa from up north. And the camera may be playing tricks (movie magic, and all that), but the crowd seems considerably thinner when the wave is smaller, but no less perfect. Plus, spring suits in the winter time? Sounds like a win!
