If you’re planning a Gold Coast holiday and wondering about the best things to do on the Gold Coast during winter, learning to surf should be at the top of your list.

While the rest of Australia is reaching for jackets, we’re soaking up sunshine here at The Spit, Main Beach. Winter on the Gold Coast means crisp mornings, beautiful blue skies, light offshore winds and some of the cleanest waves of the year. The Gold Coast enjoys beautiful sunshine throughout the cooler months, making it the perfect time to get outdoors and enjoy everything our coastline has to offer.

Here’s a little secret… the ocean is often warmer than standing on the beach!

One of the best parts? The beaches are quieter. With fewer crowds, you’ll have more space to learn, catch waves and enjoy the incredible natural beauty that makes The Spit one of the Gold Coast’s hidden gems.

Never surfed before? No worries! Every lesson includes a quality wetsuit, so you’ll stay warm and comfortable from start to finish. Our experienced instructors are with you every step of the way, making surfing fun, safe and unforgettable.

Whether you’re visiting with family, travelling with friends, or looking for a unique outdoor adventure, a surf lesson is one of the most memorable Gold Coast experiences you can have.
