About the event
The Noosa Festival of Surfing is a nine-day longboard festival on Queensland's Sunshine Coast. It began in 1992, when members of the Noosa Malibu Club started the Noosa Malibu Classic. It now draws more than 400 competitors and thousands of visitors from around the world.
The 2027 festival runs from 26 February to 7 March 2027. Competition takes place on Noosa's right-hand points, with the festival hub around Noosa Main Beach and Hastings Street. Recent festivals have included men's and women's logger and open divisions, the Old Mal division, tandem surfing and the Noosa Surfing Dog Championship, which has run since 2012. The 2027 programme has not been announced yet.
Off the water there is usually live music, surf films, art exhibitions and a beach bar, so the festival works for spectators as well as surfers. The 2026 festival was the 35th.
Planning around the dates
Noosa's points need the right swell, so the daily schedule moves with the conditions. Check the festival's own channels for each day's call and for when entries open.
