Crackneck Surf Guide
Crackneck in Newcastle is an exposed reef break that has quite reliable surf. The optimum time of year for waves is autumn. Offshore winds blow from the west northwest. Waves just as likely from local windswells as from distant groundswells and the best swell direction is from the northeast. Reef breaks provide lefts and rights. Best around mid tide when the tide is rising. Relatively few surfers here, even on good days. Beware of rocks and sharks.
