At the mouth of the Hunter River, Newcastle's coastline blends industrial heritage with world-class surf. The tides here are influenced by the massive harbour entrance, creating unique currents and sand movements that constantly reshape the famous Newcastle Beach and its neighbouring breaks.

A year of tides, turned into a grid.
Each row is a month — July at the top, June at the bottom. Each column is a day. The dots show when high and low tides happen, and how big they are.
Bigger dots mean more extreme tides. Spring tides cluster around full and new moons, neap tides sit quieter in between.
Once you learn to read one beach, you can read any beach. The patterns are always unique to the location.
