- Noosa Heads is made up of several points Granites, Boiling Pot, National Parks, Tee Trees, First point and Main Beach. When it breaks the point can get crowded like no other point on earth. Even Snapper in Queensand or Malibu in California are this busy.

The Noosa locals need to consult the Lennox locals as they have their point under control and no one dares paddle up the inside or sit and wait in the waves path!
This should be just common sense and "Surf Ettiquette". More waves to go around, less are wasted and reduces the likelihood of injury. Have a look how it should be done: ua-cam.com/video/SMhpF3lsw1U/v-deo.html
Locals don't really go near the wave unless it's solid, I was guess about 90% of the guys in the water are from down the coast.
Noosa locals have to wait a decade for the fat wave to even break and then everyone and their grandparents hit it all at the same time before it's gone the next day .
I see both happen in video, .
what does "paddle up the inside" mean?
I started surfing at Noosa in 1972. It was was incredibly crowded somewhat like this then. The main difference was weekdays and out of cyclone season, it was fairly uncrowded.
Looks like Malibu on a Wednesday morning!!! 😂🤣🤙 cheers 🍻 from the states!
For the dream!!! Lol
It's always been busy. Right around at Granite early 90's wasn't too bad. Most of the local shredders would hit Tea Tree or the hard core would go deep deep boiling pot where we use to call it Eno's. The groin half way down the beach was good when the points were this size and crowded plus you can't forget the Noosa River mouth, it had it's moments for sure. I have lived in Ireland now for some 20 years, it's a cold water paradise but I do miss the dawnies at Nashoes' in me boardies!
Sick set up. The boards we ride in San Diego would go insane at that spot.🤙
Nice point break! The waves just set up and peel off it.
Use to live here. Weekends are absolutely bonkers. Might take you half the day to find parking. Loved watching the struggle for them 😂
Looks like surfing is really catching on in that neighborhood!!!
Beautiful
Got into surfing in the late seventies, back then you hoped at least a couple of your friends would be out.Now you are lucky to find a parking spot on the weekends. Got into kite surfing 10 years ago and never looked back.
Do both!
Good to see that many here had the same reaction as I did...........just too crowded, way past having fun, just dodging inconsiderate jerks who won't take three strokes to get out of your way. Real Nice People.
Vast majority of them need a board to the head.
Looks like an obstacle course!
Some of those surfers are really good at dodging people in the water.
As a local I literally don't go near boiling pot unless it 5ft+, gets rid of a few of the teabags and when it's this size sunshine is firing anyway! It's tryhard central out there!
Sunshine in a South Easter? No thanks. The worst crowd days are generally when everything else on the sunny coast and even down to byron is blown out or closed out, ie strong se and deep lows.
Sunshine firing you mean closing out
Crowded days are any day there's decent swell at noosa, all the kooks go to Noosa because the opens are too big so then it just gets left to all the locals 👌
@@jimzzful look up "the shine" , perfect 8ft sunshine, surfed it countless times on big swells and it holds up. No break is always gonna have the right conditions but all I know is every time we get big swell I can find somewhere on the coast that's firing 🤷♂️
I like my beach break even more now.
most enraging experience
So glad I got it in the late seventies and early eighties. Even surfed perfect three foot first point on my own.
Robert, reminds me of 1969 and 1970 when a mate and I sometimes had it at 5 ft to ourselves. Sunlight streaming thru the wave at the takeoff rock. Other times there were two other guys that we knew a little. Breakfast afterwards in the Noosa Wave Kiosk just outside the National Park gates. Used to play "Whole Lotta Love" on their jukebox. Andy
@@RedAnchor12 I can only imagine with huge envy. It would have been a very small town then. When I was going it was just starting with a few constructions happening although it was already a holiday town. Awesome
Even in the early eighties it could be packed out. I remember paddling out at Ti Tree about half an hour before dawn on a non holiday weekday and there were already a dozen guys in the water
@@vidpromjm for sure. Mid week out of school holidays was your best bet.
Even better late 60s early 70s.Mid week, If National had more than10 guys out you could go to teatree and prob have it to yourself.
It’s like the ocean is littered with humans!
When was this footage taken?
So much skill is needed to maneuver around all the people in the water during a surf.
Back in the day I've surfed Granite, Teatree, National's & Johnson's on my own, over head many time's. From memory I haven't surfed first point, it was always crowded, might surf there when I grow up or something, on a Crowd Busting, Battle Ship Log 🖕🏄♂️
Surfed there in75,hurricane david,fifteen people,paradise,shrooms in the hills,thankyou noosa
Cyclone David .
@@Leonardo555ZZZZ sorry bout that,cyclone it was,epic memories
@@Rasmajnoon No worries ,,yep , not many hurricanes in Australia.
liquid highways!crazy crowding😱
When was this
Crowd control indeed ¡ Its sick people but ive been there long time ago Dropping and paddling out to the outside you people know i allways evaded the crowd even if to kick out or whatever but in my island most of the time the one who got the Wave didnt care at all so here is an Awesome footage from guys who know to enjoy surfing without been arrogant
Dam, can't anyone keep a secret. 😂
There's hidden gems , somewhere....
What beach is this
It could be so much more fun if people had the decency to paddle out well wide of the shoulder. When are we going to wake up to this?
Yeah, why isn't there a collective effort to set some ground rules like that, It makes no sense to me... So many videos I've seen of crowded lineups with beautiful waves & surfers spending all their time dodging people.
Wowsers lots of traffic
Perfect for my moonraker
Amazing waves but screw being out in that crowd!
Nice waves. How many people get hurt here? Just a little bigger, and carnage would ensue.
The first surfer is really good at avoiding people
Impossible to surf the wave properly in that crowd.
A fatality waiting to happen. Classic break being loved to death.
yep i used to see people getting hit all the time
And most are paddling for open face instead of the foam... need some regulating..
Slalom Plus!
22 years ago is the last time I surfed there, had 3 boards with me and they all got dings form kooks dropping in or not being aware of the ocean around them! Greta waves, Never again!
Couldn’t watch more than half because virtually no one was able to surf in the pocket…all just looking down the line and dodging people. Back in longboard days, we would have kept out of the way of riders when paddling out.
I though Snapper was busy but Noosa is a different type of busy. More people at Noosa just sit in the path of the waves hoping for someone to fall. Where as snapper people are trying to get back out out the line up. However the drop in factor is next level. Once you get a wave at Snapper you have to stay super busy to keep it and discourage anyone from just dropping in and burning you.
Chaos
There’s more order in a seal colony.
That’s ridiculous. Why are these looks all paddling smack bang in the impact zone?!? Some lame surfing as well. What a disaster!
They are inexperienced! Its the same at snapper and the pass, its far to easy for people to get out who have no right to be out there. They sit down the line hoping for someone to fall off. Can be quite dangerous especially on bigger days when boards start getting bailed. Watch big days at Burleigh, Currumbin and Kirra and you won't see it, far to hard to get out.
Kooks gon kook
Yep they paddle right at you
Yeah Na, Yous can have that shit crowd.
Would of been easier dodging mines through the English channel in WW2 than that.
How do you except one to surf in all that chaos? 🤦♂️
That is the worst shit ive seen in 60 years, God help you all, that is totally fucked.
Out there for 2 hrs and get only 2 waves....woohoo
Nice.... but yes?
That’s not even a busy day it can get a thicker crowd than this lol
Surfing since the Early 60,s and thru the 70,s 80,s 90,s 2000,s 2010,s 2020,s Too fucking Crowded now....
Typical scenario. Extreme overcrowding leading to a frustrating session.
So what us the crowd management here, don't see any management
That's just ridiculous!
What a Zoo!!! No thanks I'll search for that secrect spot
This is absolutely ridiculous. They are paddling straight up the face of the wave as the surfer riding it is coming right at them.
I would be running over people left and right. Completely by accident.
Couldn'nt even watch it. depressing
There is ONLY ONE Noosa Heads!!!
it´s more about dodging people than surfing
What a nightmare.
Don't text and Ride
KOOKS! MOVE!😡
That’s just gross. Why would you even paddle out?
こんないい波のったら自分が上手くなったと勘違いしそうだわ(笑)
I see this in rock climbing too. The etiquette of old, which allowed lots of people to have a good time, has gone out the window with individual needs. Think of your community, not just your own experience. Learn the ways that we can all
get along together in a sustainable manner.
It really has nothing to do with previous etiquette. Although I'm not exactly sure what you're talking about with climbing since most climbing spots are not very crowded yet compared to surfing. It's simply that the crowds are more and more people haven't changed etiquette hasn't changed.
Look at the number of people out in this clip some other spots have even more there's really only so much you can do in this situation
too many kooks that only surf when there's a swell big enough to actually get in there, which is not often enough. Hence there's no real local force either. Absolute disaster!
Kook city
I would rather surf 1 foot backwash
This is not one of Australia’s best point breaks.it is a point break but it’s nowhere near the best
That’s worse than Santa Cruz
Looks as bad a Pleasure Point or The Lane on good medium sized swells. I got fed up with P-Point, I don't know what it is they're doing out there, but it ain't surfin'.
Kooks
Nightmare no freedom you’re tied up by the paddlers. I quit
Looks like Coles or Woolworths on a Saturday morning! The thing is it's not just the surf at Noosa that's ruined. Should see the pretentious crowds at the coffee shops! Bloody awefull. Byron is just as bad and arguably worse. As for the Goldy, forget about it! My 15 year old son is interested in learning to surf, have to tell him it's a thing of the past, unless you've got millions to spend at wave pools. Better off free-diving with the Sharks, or something, than try and deal with people these days. It's the same with golf, over-crowded courses with all the gear no idea 'players'! Same with fishing, too many people, including Noosa. I do encourage him to bodysurf, pair of flippers, a shore break and good to go!
Same here in the States, everywhere is choked.
Just weaving through people the whole wave...you can't even really surf it
PATHETIC CROWD LEVEL not worth it
🤮
Pathetic and gross lack of surf etiquette and awareness. Major bummer.
