TC Alfred Perfection at Kirra! Biggest Swell in Years Slams Gold Coast



We first began tracking Tropical Cyclone Alfred in late February. it wasn’t clear how surfable the swell would be, but as it turns out, Alfred was very, very surfable —especially at Kirra—and will be talked about for years to come.

Notably, Alfred is also the first cyclone to make landfall in Southern Queensland in 51 years, with its landfall occurring just as we go to press. The full impact of this storm will continue to unfold in the coming days.

As for the surf? “People are charging,” said Queensland surfer Korbin Hutchings. “It’s gnarly out at Kirra—wide, thick, heavy, and shallow. You’re getting lit up out there. The swell is relentless.”

Residents of Queensland are advised to stay informed through local resources for the latest updates.
