Surf Report Newcastle NSW 7:59am 19/06/2013
Swell size: 5-6ft
SSE swell 5-6ft @ 11 seconds. WSW winds 13 knots. Cross shore winds on open beaches making messy conditions with rough surf. 6ft rogue sets not worth surfing. Protected southern corners offering 3-4ft of more manageable surf yet struggling to find much quality. It might be worth a look at the southern corners as tide fills up.
