A woman accused of a domestic violence-related murder, where a man's body was found in a surfboard bag, was on bail at the time of the alleged offending.

Lisa Marie Cummings, 35, was charged with murder on Saturday.

She faced Coffs Harbour Local Court on Monday, where she was accused of breaching her bail conditions by the alleged further offending.

Emergency services found a 62-year-old man's body in a surfboard bag when they attended a property in Darkwood, west of Coffs Harbour on the NSW north coast, on Thursday night.

Cummings was arrested on Friday and subsequently charged with domestic violence-related murder.

Police will allege the duo were known to each other.

Cummings did not make a further application for bail.

She is due back in court on October 15.
