Surf Report Newcastle NSW 6:55am 23/05/2013
Swell size: 2-3ft
E swell 2-3ft. @ 7 secs. SW winds 10 knots. Messy conditions on the open beaches southern corners are cleaner but are offering less swell and are a bit full with the high tide. Can not see much improvement in it today if your desperate southern corners on low tide will be your only option. Report by Peztronic.

The NSW lifesaving patrol season ended on Sunday 28 April, however Nobby’s and Bar Beach are still patrolled by council lifeguards 7 days a week. Please do not take any risks during the off-season period. No Flags = No Swim! The majority of beach patrols will again commence on the first day of the September School Holidays. For more information on lifesaving patrol times and beach/rock fishing safety, please visit the Surf Life Saving Australia Beachsafe website at www.beachsafe.org.au
