Sheltered by the headland from prevailing swells, this pocket-sized beach offers calmer waters than its famous neighbour, making it a favoured local retreat for a peaceful paddle and snorkel. The sand gently shelves into clear water with rocky gutters along the headland that harbour small reef fish and the occasional turtle. With grassy picnic areas, barbecues and showers tucked behind the dunes, it's an intimate spot for a relaxed afternoon away from the Gold Coast crowds.","intermediate","published",{"name":58,"amplitude":74,"phase":90,"latitude":22,"model":106,"epoch":107},[59,60,61,62,63,64,65,66,67,68,69,70,71,72,73],"2N2","J1","K1","K2","M2","M4","MF","MM","N2","O1","P1","Q1","S1","S2","T2",[75,76,77,78,79,80,81,82,83,84,85,86,87,88,89],0.017980549917211906,0.011753132905338,0.1954513525703253,0.042353997167387476,0.5285268818317185,0.0041398075530812,0.00020595254364248525,0.0034853893294875538,0.11054926664148794,0.10751300811416578,0.055705131596234886,0.025757728227770928,0.0034948966784605264,0.15234083688701913,0.010133213069608784,[91,92,93,94,95,96,97,98,99,100,101,102,103,104,105],288.96914673177866,0.09509976266181751,353.13495559704165,296.256461232216,300.83767556785943,196.05212741467528,181.5393787039519,5.501929345911749,291.6864174311841,320.0326763481414,345.2135566993048,300.03238625586647,306.42451962847883,309.3492514636652,317.3611407880512,"EOT20","1992-01-01T00:00:00Z",[109,114,118,121,125,128,131,134,137,140],{"name":110,"description":111,"severity":112,"season_start":36,"season_end":113},"Rip currents","Strong rip currents are common along open sections of the beach, particularly near the Tweed River entrance.","warning",12,{"name":115,"description":116,"severity":117,"season_start":36,"season_end":113},"Surf break conditions","The beach has multiple surf breaks that can create rough, turbulent water for snorkelers.","caution",{"name":119,"description":120,"severity":117,"season_start":36,"season_end":113},"Boat traffic near river mouth","The Tweed River entrance sees boat and jet ski traffic, creating hazards for swimmers and snorkelers near the southern end.",{"name":122,"description":123,"severity":112,"season_start":124,"season_end":124},"Outgoing Tide Current","The Tweed River mouth can generate strong outgoing currents, especially on an ebb tide.
