I heart WOTD

Incredible eh!

Yes, ripper.

Great caption. One of your best.

Cheers. Fifteen years and I can't believe I hadn't thought of it before.

Reminds me of the projectile vomiting I had with dengue fever.
Felt like it had jet propulsion.

Zero credentials to display, but my critique of today’s photo is that it has excellent lighting!

Working eyeballs are all you need to critique a photo.

Few question marks around that.

Incredible lighting and imagery the last two days as well. Cracker shots!

Is this the best wave ever captured on the Sunshine Coast?

It like a photo of a unicorn

thought old-mate was in the buff when I first looked at it bleary-eyed.

The Harry Bryant footage of him surfing big lefts out the back of sunshine beach on a 7’0 is still burnt into my pea-brain.
Would that be a once yearly occurrence?

Yeah i know i lived at both end's for a bit (Sunshine beach & Caloundra) when it gets swell it can get good, it's just lacks swell especially the south end.

That June 2016 swell really was "As Good As It Gets". Hasn't happened since. Close, but not that. Every 5-10 years.

Be nice if it was more often!!

I remember that clip, insane!

Had to work up around the sunny coast around 03 came back from work one day right outside the window was amazing waves.
Lasted just that day .
Back to work the next morning ........
Great waves, you just have to share them with everyone from Brisbane.
It's a bit like a surf desert though .. Plenty of flater days ...

As a surfer, it must be one of the biggest cocktease coasts, insofar that there's ~100km of surfable coastline with so much potential, and there's usually something to ride, but it hardly ever gets good.

Yeah it can be painful, but like you mention excluding the last 3 months before we started to get some swell, there is usually a surfable grovel somewhere.

A lot of good surfers from area, Kong, Parko, Wilson, Byrant Goodall etc etc.
You just need to travel to get juice.

This wave no longer...
Another once in a blue moon occurrence.

I could see this wave from where i lived for a year or two and surfed it whenever it was surf able trying to find a nugget.

I never got it this good though and it was always a real hard wave to work out and surf as was so shifty it was so much harder to surf than the Goldie points.

Shame it's gone.

^ 23:55 mark. Was a fun day. Jack certainly disguised the crowd.

Lovley, nice cap - the Seventh Wave Adventists will be happy with the plug.

Que?

Very very frightening!

Nazaré, oh!
Nazaré, oh!

Today's - yeah the inside of Somers Creek has been breaking good lately!

So much footage of Pipe lately, first look I thought it was another beautiful Pipe bomb, but no it's Vicco.

"Zachary... you're driving already?"

Beautiful shot. Not a drop out of place.

Is today's from the deep water reef or one of the exposed beachies to the west?

Doesn't quite look right for either.

I didn't ask but I assumed it was the former.

Thanks Stu.

Yeah I think you’re right. Just looks a bit different to normal.

OMG look's like heaven.

Although knowing where Andrew visits and judging by the look of the wave and nobody out, i think it's smoke and mirrors.

If it's the wave i think, its only surfable on rare occasions when real solid and from the right direction and tide and even then you can only make a few sections on the right ones, most of the time it looks perfect but it's just way to fast and big sections run off in front of you.

So a righthand Impossibles? Sign me up!

I reckon it's just a lucky shot of a B-grade wave, for a split second it looks like a hollow wave when in reality the only time it's hollow is when it closes out onto the beach.

I was referring to yesterdays WOTD btw.

Dolphin point, Lovina.

Nowhere near that end of the archipelago, ID.

Oh nice, now i can enjoy that pic as heaven, it's suddenly become makable.

This makes me think there's an official Swellnet rule that you'll only publish shots if the photographer gives you and Craig the GPS coordinates haha.

You didn't know, dandandan?
