because of the lack of sand at Snapper Rocks the trials event went off on the new point without a hitch Julian, 36, is so eager to surf in a CT jersey again that he couldn’t wait for his 2025 Challenger Series wildcards to kick in. He won this event at firing Snapper in 2018 on a bum shoulder. Now, four years after his semi-retirement to focus on family, he's looking as spry as ever on those crisp JS boards. “I have had the privilege of winning this event and surfing in another final and I was actually getting quite emotional out there at the thought of getting another opportunity to surf at this level at this event Competing against the best surfers is what I want and I can’t believe it’s come around this quickly to get this opportunity We’re unable to load this content right now View directly on Instagram “I’ve had a few wins recently, but this one definitely takes the cake,” she said. “I’m just so excited to test myself against the world’s best once again, as I don’t feel I was truly surfing my best when I got my first opportunity on the CT.

Thus the decision was made to move the event to Burleigh Heads and the quality of the bank there isn’t too shabby at all So what’s in store for the coming event window Plenty of easterly trade-swell - possibly even too much at times - with multiple opportunities to run the event The source of the easterly swell will be a strong high pressure system filling out into the Tasman Sea later this week and into the weekend as a couple of low pressure troughs squeeze its north-eastern flank An initial surge of strong south-east winds through the Tasman Sea on Thursday and Friday should generate a good pulse of 3 foot mid-period south-east swell for Saturday Conditions will be clean through the early-to-mid morning with a gusty S/SW breeze deteriorating from later morning as winds shift more south-east and strengthens. the mid-morning wind switch will be the biggest difference between Snapper and Burleigh with Snapper through to Rainbow better angled to handle a south-east wind than Burleigh with its more exposed headland the strong high is due to continue moving slowly east while tropical instability to the north will squeeze pressure gradients elongated fetch of easterly trade-winds that will slowly retract to the east along with the movement of the high This is a great setup to provide consistent moderate levels of easterly trade-swell to the Queensland coast expected to slowly strengthen and increase in size through next week At this stage we should see the trade-swell reaching 4-5 feet through early-mid next week and persisting at this size for the entire event window though there’s the possibility for further intensifications which would boost the swell into the large size range We'll keep a close eye on those developments so check back in As the high and easterly trade-fetch slowly retract to the east local winds will back off in strength and become more favourable though still following the general pattern of morning south-southwesterlies ahead of fresh afternoon south-easterlies will the organisers get a quick start and run in smaller cross-shore surf this weekend, or focus on the better quality easterly trade-swell next week onwards We're tipping more towards the latter than the former We’ll provide running updates on any upgrades in next week’s swell in the commentary below it really feels like this is the first time we’ve had a relatively promising one in about two years it’ll be consistent and I think that’s really all you need I do think the short period and fragmented nature of Burleigh may not necessarily lend itself to the traditional point surfers I’m sure the air boys will be well in the mix Beachie and cove seem to be able to handle it Morning lows should coincide nicely with the lighter winds The Woz will dine out on drone shots of the headland and talle Should see the performance bar lifted for this comp https://juliettejade.bandcamp.com/track/dawn Burleigh likes the same swell direction as Needledicks -SSE That's one of the more unusual surf spot parallels I've heard of Took me years to figure out that south misses the coast entirely SSE misses Currumbin and turns snapper into a zoo with waves that aren't ideal and any predominant East in the swell is dangerous -swell events always marked by injuries because it locks you into shallow sandbanks on repeat Worth noting the similarity between backdoor barrel entries at both the entry to the cove and needledicks -starts off super small and jacks to overhead in an instant So many crystal tubular memories -including a mystical bending white out dissapearing/reapperaring singlefin act on the afternoon of MPs funeral burleigh heads -the place to get punch by a junkie face slam a turd and leave with an ear infection and foot cut Shame that Wahoos Fish Tacos isnt open anymore Forecast would have been incredible if snapper had banks Unfortunately the banks at Burleigh are only just passable right now Still there will be fun waves and the setup is HUGE Going to be a fun weekend and i can't wait but it seems to have that same vibe as The Hill at Adelaide Oval @Roadkill if staying at Cooly easier to just get a bus rather than drive and find parking View this post on Instagram Burleigh and Kirra were always the premiere breaks back in the day Rainbow and Greenmount were separate breaks and we would always hit Burleigh any chance we could get I remember coming up from Broken for the Stubbies and it seemed such a big deal at the time I have never seen a swell in VIC with those numbers so are you reliant on deep water to the bank to give it a bit of oomph The East Coast loves these mid-period swells ha I am not sure if you pulling my leg or not however double the grunt would probably do it Swell direction and bathymetry far more important than swell periods We actually get quite a few glancing long period S swells but they rarely show much up here A straight E/SE to E/NE swell in the 8-10 second band slamming onto shallow sand bars will be far more impactful than a 17 second S swell Any swell direction with an E in it and a good bank = good surf easter long weekend was a long period up on the sunnycoast i prefer the short period swells more peaks and more waves at my local the long period made my local a right hand point break way less waves coming through and when they did was pretty much one peak Do u know what state of the banks are at Currumbin Surely that could be an option if Burleigh is shit 4 to 5 foot behind the rock is a great wave A short section behind the rock and then fatness for ever Currumbin is in poor state following Alfred & will take long time to recover... massive hole next to the keyhole & barely breaking.

Nestled beneath a lava rock headland, the picturesque, cobblestone-covered point helped write the playbook on competitive surfing back in 1977 during the Stubbies Surf Classic where the world’s first man-on-man heats took place It’s since pumped out perennial Aussie talents spanning generations — Rabbit On its day — and there are quite a few — Burleigh can dish out freight-train spinning barrels just metres from the crowd on its grassy green hill The wave itself breaks across three main sections is the heaviest — working with raw SE swells and unloading into a steep The Cove offers square barrel sections when the wind’s right — short and occasionally linking up with a down-the-line section waiting to be carved and belted to smithereens And then there’s The Point: the real reason everyone shows up backdoorable peaks peeling for 100 metres over sand and rock And if you’re wanting to try before you buy, you’re in luck.

Heads Good Friday at Burleigh Heads was a good day to be a surfer indeed A solid pulse of swell fired up the famous point since Good Friday is a public holiday in Australia And since there are a million workers who’d rather be surfing in that land of surfers the crowds are part and parcel of the whole surfing experience it’s hard to remind yourself that you are part of the crowd you hate surfing with Just a few waves under the belt at a place like Burleigh Heads on a day like Good Friday would make up for all the annoyance of dodging the sea of humans paddling around in the actual sea
