I'm coincedentally on the Gold Coast for work, just arrived. I have been surfing Snapper everyday, except for today at Burleigh. Pretty awesome seeing all the pros out. Waves have been good too, though a lot of work at Snapper. All the sand seems to be at Rainbow Bay down to Greenmount, closer to Greenmount. Behind the rocks hasn't even been breaking. Needless to say, its still a world class wave.
