From Surfers Paradise to Snapper Rocks, the Gold Coast is Australia's surfing mecca — a 70-kilometre stretch of world-class beaches powered by consistent Pacific swells. The tides here are the engine of a coastal lifestyle that draws millions, shaping the famous superbank and the point breaks that made the Gold Coast legendary.

A year of tides, turned into a grid.
Each row is a month — July at the top, June at the bottom. Each column is a day. The dots show when high and low tides happen, and how big they are.
Bigger dots mean more extreme tides. Spring tides cluster around full and new moons, neap tides sit quieter in between.
Once you learn to read one beach, you can read any beach. The patterns are always unique to the location.
