The next 7 days. Each day's wave height, green on a good day for intermediate surfers. A spot that does not suit them is tagged with the level it suits and never goes green for them. The best of the spots that stay in Newcastle each day wears a ★ Best badge, only on a Good day. 3 spots stay in another town: within your drive, they count for Newcastle too.

Distances are in a straight line from the middle of Newcastle, to spots that land joins: none across a bay or on another island. A drive marked "about" is our estimate: the straight line times 1.8 minutes a km, measured on the drives we have routed (half of those come within 21% of the routed time).
