Between Forster and Seal Rocks, where the Great Lakes coastline offers a run of beach breaks to suit whatever the swell is doing, this family-run school shifts location daily to find the best conditions rather than teaching at a single fixed beach. Instructor Simon leads lessons pitched from complete beginners through to surfers refining technique, with private, group and bodyboard options and a reputation, borne out in reviews, for patience with nervous first-timers and genuine flexibility when a booking needs to change. The school is licensed by both Surfing Australia and Surfing NSW, the standard credentialing for coaching operators in the state. Boundary Street in Forster serves as the base, an easy stop for visitors staying anywhere along the Great Lakes holiday strip between Tuncurry and Pacific Palms. For families spending a week in the area, it's a solid way to turn a beach holiday into an actual surfing one, with a coach who knows which break is working before you've even checked the forecast.
