Lake Cathie (The Cracker) - New South Wales, Australia Lake Cathie features a beach break with both right and left-hand waves, characterized by a sandy bottom interspersed with rocks. The spot is known for its hollow, fun, and ledgey waves, making it a consistent swell magnet. It works best at low and mid tide, particularly during rising and falling tides. Located about 15 minutes south of Port Macquarie, Lake Cathie offers instant access to multiple beach breaks along Ocean Drive. The south end hosts the popular Middle Rock point break, which is renowned for its consistency. With favorable wind directions from the northwest, west, and southwest, surfers can expect quality waves even in onshore conditions. The area is less crowded than surrounding spots, providing a relaxed atmosphere for surfers of all levels. However, caution is advised due to rips, undertow, and rocks. Parking is conveniently available close to the surf, making it an ideal destination for an early morning session.
