North Wall Mackay Harbour Beach
Edit SpotAbout
Makes a good change from other southern crowded spots
Additional Info:
Surf at northwall is regular and it needs to be blowing about 25/30 knots+ from the se and wait 12 to 24 hrs for development of good swell.
When it does it there are good waves on on the incoming tide 30 mins after top and minor flow changes can cause little barrels on the inside to develop and better size can be found by moving 150mts up the beach. Ground swell will occur after a good blow on early mornings provided wind strength is occuring overnite. Cyclone swell is the most awaited event as all surf spots in Mackay fire.
