ABOUT THE NEW TWEED COAST

KINGSCLIFF

Kingscliff is part of the Tweed Coast situated on the far north coast of New South Wales, on the Queensland border. Only 10 minutes from the “Superbank” and 30 minutes north of Byron Bay. With an average air temperature of 24 degrees, 2km of golden sandy beaches stretching from Cabarita to Fingal and a fantastic smorgasbord of restaurants, Kingscliff is one of Australia's top holiday destinations.

SURF

March/May is the prime time of year for longboard surfers on the Tweed Coast. Normally the surf is in the 2-4ft range with offshore southwest winds prevailing. With water temperatures around 20C and land temperatures 24, surfers will be quite comfortable in a spring suit.

GETTING TO KINGSCLIFF

International flights arrive at Brisbane or Sydney. Brisbane airport is about 75 minutes by car from Kingscliff, while Sydney Airport is 11 hours by car. For competitors flying into Sydney a 1 hour domestic flight to Coolangatta on the Gold Coast is available. New Zealand competitors can fly direct to Coolangatta Airport from New Zealand.

Domestic flights arrive at the Gold Coast airport (Coolangatta) and Kingscliff is 10 minutes south of there. Be warned Jet Star Airways don’t take surfboards so domestic air travel may need to be with Virgin Blue.
