Surf Report Newcastle NSW 8:00am 25/05/2013
Swell size: 6ft+
E swell 4-6ft+ @ 9 seconds on open beaches. SW winds 10 knots. Solid E swell still pushing in and most locations are not handling the masses of water moving inshore though it has settled a touch.SE wind swell present as well. Protected southern points offering the best waves with more manageable conditions. Worth getting in the car and having a look at the options but it is for the experienced surfers only.
