Average conditions on most of our beaches. The exception being the northern corners and open beaches that love a NW-N wind. Waves are around 1-2ft on these beaches. Early morning will provide the best waves. Main breaks around town are a little messy with very small waves. For all your surfing lessons contact Port Macquarie Surf School on 6585 5453 or visit www.portmacquariesurfschool.com.au. Lessons are held everyday. Also check Coastalwatch swell forecast for updates.
