University (Moree)

University is an exposed beach break right behind the university campus, on a wide sandy stretch with both left and right-handers. It’s described as having pretty consistent surf, with wave power that sits in the moderate range and an overall average wave quality. For day-to-day planning, the guidance strongly favors early morning sessions. The sea-breeze regime tends to build later in the day (often toward midday), which can turn conditions onshore and reduce the “clean” feel. The spot’s wind/sea state changes are an important part of keeping the break enjoyable and rideable. Safety planning matters here: rip currents are reported as common depending on swell size, and scattered rocks near the shore and in the line-up add another risk layer—especially when waves are bigger or when visibility is reduced. Strong sun is also highlighted, so sun protection is important. In terms of conditions, water temperatures are warm year-round (about the mid-20s °C, with the warmest months around December–April in the monthly range provided). Surfing is rated for beginner-level progression, and the most favorable swell window cited is roughly 1.0–2.5 m from the south to southwest, with a mid tide generally preferred.
