About this Spot

Nobbys Beach is a surf spot located in New South Wales, Australia. Situated near the city of Newcastle, this beach is known for its consistent waves that break over a sand and rock bottom. The surf spot is suitable for intermediate surfers due to the presence of rocks and the need to navigate through gaps to paddle out. The waves at Nobbys Beach are less than 50 meters in length and provide both left and right directions, making it a versatile spot for surfers. However, the beach is often empty, providing ample space for those looking to catch some waves without the crowd. When planning a surf session at Nobbys Beach, it’s important to check the surf forecast and report for the latest conditions. The beach is located near other popular spots such as Flynn’s Beach, Shelly Beach, and Town Beach, making it a convenient location for surfers exploring the area.

Surfers should be cautious of rips and undertows, and it’s advised to walk further up the beach to find a suitable gap to paddle out. Remember to respect the locals and always check the surf etiquette when surfing crowded spots. Check your skills before paddling out to make sure the spot and conditions fit your surfing level.
