Seal Rocks is a remote, scenic peninsula on the NSW mid-north coast (near Forster / Pacific Palms) with a mix of sheltered right-hand point breaks and exposed beach breaks. It’s known for consistent options year-round thanks to beaches facing different directions, a classic longboard-friendly point, and more powerful beach peaks — a true regional classic that stays relatively uncrowded compared with bigger-name spots further south.

​

The Break Sections  
The headlands and bays create variety depending on swell and wind:  
* Number One Beach / The Point: The signature soft right-hand point over sand and rock fingers in front of the campground. Long, mellow, crumbling walls that are ideal for longboards, improvers, and anyone learning a point — rides can link through to the beach on good days.  
* Lighthouse Beach: Punchy sand-bottom beach break with lefts and rights that peak in the corners. More exposed and rippable; works well when the point is quiet or when NE–E swell wraps in.  
* Treachery Beach: The heavy-hitter. Consistent, powerful beach peaks that hold bigger sizes, often hollow or sectiony, with strong rips — a wilder, higher-performance option on the southern side of the peninsula.

​

Best Conditions
* Season: Year-round (beaches face both NE and SE so you can always find something). Autumn through winter is most consistent for groundswell; summer delivers cleaner NE–E options.  
* Swell: Northeast to east for the point and northern beaches; southeast to south for Treachery and more exposed spots.  
* Wind: Southwest to south / west (offshore for the point); north or northwest for the southern beaches.  
* Tide: Mid to high preferred at the point (rising often best); most tides work at the beach breaks depending on the banks.
