Not sure were you are from, but most of this area is best for waves.
Can you stay upwind?
Hawks nest flat water is off shore in a typical NE summer wind at the spit.

There is a caravan park at blacksmith beach, lake macquarie
You have a surf beach 200mt from the park.
Accross the channel from the park, at caves beach is another good surf spot
There is also a flat water spot in the channel that works in a NE only that is also accessed from the caves beach side of the channel.
This flat water spot also has a few razor fish that stick up about 200 mm from the sea bed (very sharp shells) that will cut your feet open if you spend a lot of time walking in the water.

Also if at a beach anywhere in Australia stay well away from the flagged areas were all the swimmers are.
As mentioned earlier alway ask a local for what the go is in the area. Most will be more than happy to have a quick chat and point you in the right direction.
