Rainbow Bay Tides
A user-friendly point break connected to the Superbank system, Rainbow Bay offers the same world-class wave mechanics as Snapper and Kirra with a slightly more forgiving takeoff. The Gold Coast tides shape its gentle walls, making it one of the most accessible point breaks on the coast.
