Duranbah

Surf Guide

Duranbah or D-Bah as it’s locally known, is situated on the north side of the Tweed River. The easterly facing 350m (0.2 mile) stretch of sand is bang on the NSW and QLD border. The south end of the beach is the river mouth break wall, while the north end is wrapped by Point Danger. 400m (0.24 miles) to the north lies the infamous Snapper Rocks. The combination of an offshore sandbar and the tweed river break wall mixes up the swell and produces consistent A-frame peaks. Its easterly aspect makes D-bah the local swell magnet so when the rest of the Gold Coast is flat, D-bah is likely to have a wave. *WORLD SURFING RESERVE* 
This wave sits in a protected surf ecosystem — preserving the coastline, culture, and access that keep it working. Here's why this break matters.
