Newcastle Harbour is a unique surf spot located at the mouth of the Hunter River. This area has its own vibe, being a mix of urban waterfront and natural environment. When the conditions are right, it attracts surfers looking for a thrilling ride. It's worth noting that this spot is not your typical beach break, so it’s good to be mindful of the environment around you.

The best time to catch waves here is with a swell coming from the NorthEast, especially when the size hits around 6ft (about 1.8 meters). The wave direction is right and tends to break over boulders, giving it a unique feel. To really enjoy a good session, you’ll want to hit the surf during low, mid, or high tide, with the preferred wind coming from the SouthWest. This spot is best suited for expert surfers due to its challenging conditions, so make sure you know what you're doing before paddling out.

Always keep an eye out for the local surf scene as it can change quickly, and connect with other surfers for tips on the current conditions. Since it can get crowded, being polite and aware of your surroundings goes a long way here. Enjoy your time at Newcastle Harbour and surf safely!
