The best time to visit Hawks Nest is during the shoulder seasons of autumn (March to May) and spring (September to November) for pleasant weather and fewer crowds.During these months, you'll experience comfortable temperatures, typically ranging from the low 20s Celsius (70s Fahrenheit), ideal for outdoor activities like beach walks, kayaking, and exploring the Myall Lakes National Park. The water is still warm enough for swimming and surfing, and you'll find the popular beaches, like Bennetts Beach, less busy than in the peak summer months. This period is particularly good for couples seeking a relaxed getaway without the bustling crowds.Summer (December to February) offers the warmest weather, with temperatures often reaching the high 20s and low 30s Celsius (high 80s to low 90s Fahrenheit), making it great for beach holidays. However, this is also the peak tourist season, especially during school holidays, so expect more people, higher accommodation prices, and busier local amenities. Families often find summer ideal for school breaks, enjoying the full range of water sports and beach activities.Winter (June to August) brings cooler temperatures, usually around the mid-teens Celsius (low 60s Fahrenheit), and can be a good time for whale watching as humpback whales migrate along the coast.
