Port Macquarie Surf Forecast map for predicting the best wave and wind conditions across the region. For surfers, the map shows the most powerful swell tracking across near-shore open water and not the peak waves experienced by boats out at sea. Move your mouse over the ocean swell symbols or the surf breaks on the coastline to see a more detailed surf forecast including wave period and wind conditions. The forecast updates every 6 hours and most live weather reports update every hour. You can animate the Port Macquarie Surf map or show live wind and wave conditions as reported from wavebuoys and local weather stations. Surf breaks shown along the Port Macquarie coastline are also listed below.

Yacaaba Head-Boulders

point

A mixture of sand and reef bottoms. There are plenty of breaks to choose from on this part of coast. The likes of Trapdoors can create some epic long reeling right handers but tends to need a big swell. Head south all the way down to Yacaaba Head-Boulders and you'll discover just how many beaches this coast has to offer. They be may close on the map, but are quite a drive away, the road network is good and there are plenty of facilities up and down the coast for a traveler.
