The wave of the day does it for me big time. Nice work Steen Barnes , Shaun Anderson and Swellnet.
In one photo you've encompassed everything nice about surfing. If I was a wanker I'd say that it was perfect except for the fact he is in a wetsuit. Which it is , it's perfect .....except for the fact he's in a wetsuit.

Nowhere near that end of the archipelago, ID.

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.

Most photogs don't give away the location unless we ask so it's more a guessing game than anything else, and I gotta say, Craig is very, very hard to beat.

In this instance I had a hunch which checked out with Shieldsy.

The result is a mental surf atlas filled with more spots than I'll ever have time to visit.

Send an Uber and I'll meet you at the airport. The WOTD Tour begins.

A long walk for 1 or 2 waves !
Your better off sitting in the car park for
4 hours, until someone leaves.

Big tides. The platform might be worth a look.

It's such an amazing set up those points, we can whinge about the crowds, but i think we should be very grateful that the area is preserved by that national park.

Imagine if it was all houses it would be terrible.

Agreed, crowds aside, that's some of the most beautiful scenery anywhere in the world.
What a magnificent series of headlands, and from ground level the view up to the north is stunning.

Beautiful spot, used to love surfing it as a grom back in 80's..
Too busy in car park and water for me now.
Just had a sniff around southern SC, think Noosa only option.
