Your plans sorted for the Noosa Festival of Surfing 2025

It’s that time of year again in Noosa — The Noosa Festival of Surfing! For 2025, the festival is set to be another spectacular celebration of all things surf, culture and coastal living. As one of Australia’s premier surf festivals, this event brings together professional and amateur surfers, families and surf enthusiasts for a week of competition, live music, art and community events. The event is for all — seasoned surfers, locals and visitors — and set on Noosa’s stunning beaches.
This year the festival will run from March 14th-23rd 2025 with the main events happening on Noosa Main Beach. We’ve created an Alterior Motif guide to the Noosa Festival of Surfing for 2025, with our top picks to move, drink, dine, wear and watch! Read on for our recommendations…
TO MOVE:
- Take a long walk through the Noosa National Park
- Enjoy an early ocean swim
- Attend a fitness class at a nearby studio, some of our favourites in Noosa are Aloha Active and Bare Bones Movement

A few of our favourite spots in Noosa:
- For wine, head to Theo’s
