Once considered the best barrel in Australia. Kirra's legendary sand-bottom point produces hollow, mechanical tubes when cyclone swells combine with westerly winds. The wave was diminished by sand pumping in the 2000s but still produces world-class barrels on its day. Connected to the Superbank, it can link with Snapper and Rainbow Bay on epic swells.
