Port Stephens Surf School - water sports in Port Stephens

Port Stephens Surf School (One Mile)4.8 (65)

Hens and bucks crews get their own private lesson, with matching rash shirts on offer and coaches who keep the mood light.

Choosing a Day Out on the Water

A group surf lesson is one of the simplest ways to get a party into the water in Port Stephens. Lessons run at One Mile Beach on the Tomaree side, and an accredited coach takes care of the teaching and the safety calls.

It works for a surprising range of occasions, from a hens morning to a kids' birthday or a staff day out.

What to think about when booking a group lesson:

Private sessions keep your group together rather than mixing you in with strangers
Coaching from Surfing Australia accredited instructors, with boards and wetsuits supplied
Extras that can fill out a day, such as a giant stand up paddleboard, body boarding, beach games or a beach yoga session
A mix of abilities, so ask how the coaches split confident swimmers and first-timers
Kids are welcome, which makes it a good fit for a children's party

For other group outings, see activities and hens party ideas around the bay.

Surf, wind and tide change daily, so ask how the school decides whether a lesson goes ahead
Ask which time of day tends to have the gentlest conditions for beginners
The water is cooler through whale-watching season, roughly May to November, so wetsuits matter
Summer and school holidays mean busier beaches, so book group sessions ahead

Making a day of it

Pair the lesson with a picnic or a lunch booking nearby for a hens or birthday group
For a team day, a lesson followed by beach games keeps everyone involved even if they skip the surf
Bring towels, a change of clothes and water for after the session

Questions before you book

How many students each coach looks after
What swimming ability guests need
Whether photos of the group can be arranged
What the cancellation or rescheduling policy is for bad surf
