The Yaroomba-Marcoola Beach (1543) is well exposed to the prevailing southerly swell, which averages 1.5m for the length of the beach. The waves have combined with the fine to medium sand to build two bars across the 200m wide surf zone. The inner bar is usually attached to the beach and cut by rip channels every 250 to 300m, with a deep trough past the first line of breakers, then a deeper outer bar paralleling the beach and cut by more widely spaced rips. On average there are 40 rips along the beach. In addition, there is a strong permanent rip against Point Arkwright and some rocks in the surf at Mudjimba. read more
