Surf Patrol is an Australian reality series which features scenes from the eventful real-life activities of well-trained, athletic volunteer lifeguards called Surf Lifesavers.

They operate in the Pacific Ocean, but the southern half, 'down under', notable at Gunnamatta beach on the Goldcoast, near the Victoria state metropolis of Melbourne, performing real patrols on foot or by boat, both preventive and to save tourists and water sportsmen in actual trouble, sometimes at peril of their own lives.
