Narrow Neck on the Gold Coast is an exposed beach break that has consistent surf and can work at any time of the year. Offshore winds blow from the west northwest. Windswells and groundswells in equal measure and the ideal swell direction is from the northeast. The beach break favours left handers. When it's working here, it can get crowded. Watch out for rips, man-made danger (buoys etc...) and locals.
