Newcastle
Australia, NSW
Newcastle or "newy" is an awesome town with lots of variety for any type of wave rider. We have the best reefs, best sites to be seen, and best of all, the best girls. from moon island to newcaste harbour newy has awesome reefs. breaks for any type of wave rider. from bodyboarding to goatboating newcastle has it all
The swell around newcastle can get very big and ugly so you have to watch out for that.
Head for the southern corners or less exposed beaches if swell too big for your ability.
Newcastle has something for all surfers and gets consistent swell and has plenty of variety.
you can catch some hectic right handers mainly close-outs near shark alley but at south newcastle gets pretty good also around the cliff at bar susan gilmore gets good when it wants to be. from mase
Seasonal swell & wind variations:
The Common Wind in summer is NE/SE, barely W/NW winds in summer.. if you are travveling to newy leave it to winter.. thats when it turns on the best

good place to take a learner? - hey,
My little girl wants to get into surfing, but am pretty new to the area and don't really know what break is the best one to take a learner to where she is not going to get in the way of those out there who know what they are doing, and is not to challenging a break. Any suggestions?
