You’re almost guaranteed a wave on the Gold Coast, and the winds and easterly swells (usually in the morning) conspire to produce perfect one to two foot swells about once a week.
Then there are the mythical four foot waves which hit the beaches every couple of months.
Es geht natürlich ums surfen.
Kann jemand helfen? Danke
