## Spots in Newcastle NSW

- [Merewether](https://yosurf.app/spot/merewether): Newcastle NSW; Beach break / reef; levels beginner, intermediate, advanced, expert; The home of Newcastle surfing. The southern reef, Ladies, holds triple overhead faces on an E-SE swell.
- [Bar Beach](https://yosurf.app/spot/bar-beach): Newcastle NSW; Beach break; levels beginner, intermediate, advanced; One of the finest beach breaks in greater Newcastle. Small east swells turn into a barrel festival here.
- [Blacksmiths](https://yosurf.app/spot/blacksmiths): Newcastle NSW; Beach break / jetée; levels beginner, intermediate; The jetty guarding the entrance to Lake Macquarie, with peaks on both sides. Often weak, so a good place to learn.
- [Box Beach](https://yosurf.app/spot/box-beach): Newcastle NSW; Beach break; levels beginner, intermediate, advanced; A beach in Tomaree National Park, bodyboard heaven. Backwash off the cliffs jacks up wedging left pits.
- [Caves Beach](https://yosurf.app/spot/caves-beach): Newcastle NSW; Beach break; levels beginner, intermediate; A long beach south of Newcastle. The southern end prefers S in the swell, the north works better on NE.
- [Dudley Beach](https://yosurf.app/spot/dudley-beach): Newcastle NSW; Beach break; levels beginner, intermediate; A green oasis among the city beaches, inside the Glenrock reserve. Lefts running down the banks on NE swells.
- [Redhead](https://yosurf.app/spot/redhead): Newcastle; Beach break; levels beginner, intermediate; 10km north, a SE-facing beach that picks up NE-E swells with good protection from summer sea breezes. Powerful, hollow waves, with the main lefts breaking a bit further out over a sand-covered reef.
- [Burwood Beach](https://yosurf.app/spot/burwood-beach): Newcastle; Beach break; levels beginner, intermediate; A recreational beach with a righthand point called 'Leggies' and some rocky lefts at the north end. The walk-in doesn't put off the locals when it's firing on an E-S swell and any W wind; much quieter further up the beach.
- [Stockton Beach](https://yosurf.app/spot/stockton-beach): Newcastle; Beach break; levels beginner, intermediate, advanced; A beach that arcs for 32km, offering plenty of swell and wind combos. Sheltered at each end, the middle picks up the most size around the banks built up near the isolated Sygna shipwreck — though shark sightings here are notable.
