Marine buoy
Gold Coast AUS-QLD-GOLD-COAST
Gold Coast is a wave buoy in Australia integrated into SwellOracle from AODN/Queensland DES. This page summarizes its position, source and available variables for checking surf conditions.
How to use this reading
Gold Coast helps confirm whether swell energy is reaching the Australia area. Higher height with a longer period usually means more organized energy, while direction determines which coastlines receive that swell best.
For surf decisions, compare height, period and direction with your beach's local exposure. If the station does not report a variable, use the app to compare it with nearby model points.
