When the charts lit up for a rare swell to hit Newcastle Harbor, I knew I had to drop everything I was doing and go. In this episode, I link up with Craig Anderson and a stacked crew of local legends to score one of the most elusive waves on Australia’s East Coast. The wave only breaks a few times a decade — when the swell direction, tide, and wind all align — and this was one of those magic days! At a spot I've always wanted to go! From heavy dredging barrels off the breakwall, to sketchy entries, weird backwashes, and total chaos in the lineup, this session had everything I love about weird waves.
