Several years back, producer Chris White stumbled upon a remarkable wave phenomenon, where two distinct swells collide to create towering sprays reaching several meters high, located 60 kilometers off the southern coast.

“I’ve been thinking about it ever since and have been eager to return,” White shared.

“It’s truly a natural marvel. I’ve traveled extensively in search of waves like this one.”

Initially encountering the wave by chance, White revisited the secluded spot years later alongside his friend Ben Allen.

Together, they captured the awe-inspiring scene from a jet ski, using a drone to document the unique event in these remote waters.

“It’s insanely scary because you are so far removed from any help,” Allen said.

“The video doesn’t actually capture how big that wave was,” White said.

“To be that close to it. To hear it and to get all the spray over you. The energy coming from that. It’s like nothing else.”

The footage was posted to Instagram and viewed more than 7 million times in two days.

“Every time someone talks about it or I see the video, I get goosebumps. It was pretty special when we arrived and saw that spout going,” Allen said.

It’s even attracted the attention of experts at the University of Western Australia, who are keen to take a further look.

“It seems to be some sort of combination of the perfect swell conditions and then the reef geometry and the water depth at the site,” University of WA Oceans Institute Dr Arnold Van Rooijen said.

Allen and White are planning to return to the site with their surfer mates who hope to become the first people to ride the incredible wave.

But they’re keeping the location a secret for now.

“I couldn’t even tell my family or my wife where I was going,” Allen joked.
