Surf Report Newcastle NSW 8:06am 20/06/2013
Swell size: 4-5ft
SSE swell 4-5ft @ 9 seconds. WSW winds 10 knots. Conditions have settled slightly overnight with swell backing off. It is still solid on the open beaches but quality is average with lumpy cross shore chop. Protected southern corners offering the most predictable and manageable waves with semi clean though lumpy 3ft waves. there is plenty of swell worth surfing if you were keen.
