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.

Bravo ,
100 percent craig.
Such great photos, the fold of the wave looks like tavi rights !
Why leave home in winter when there are waves like these.
Right under your nose...

Craig. I love your work, the angles from the water level where you are situated must make the waves feel immense.

Hi to your loved ones, I’m sure she’s growing fast. AW

Such an unique wave and beautiful spot, I have great memories of surfs here in the 90s outside of weekend crowds

Nice thats solid, never saw it that big, always seemed less than half that size and often less than ideal swell direction, but crowd numbers were pretty low and still lots of fun.

A friend was down there recently and misjudged his paddle out from the beach . Found himself touching life & death with his toes and frantically trying to duck dive whitewater and get back to the beach . Some locals ran down to the rocks and yelled for him to head out to sea and not try to paddle to beach . He took their advice and lived to tell the story .

Ashsam. Hi mate. As good as gold. No waves today, super clean but tiny. Zero degrees at dawn, nice sunny 15c day coming up.
Next pulse Tuesday unfortunately, waves will come, said the Duke. Aloha. AW

Havent surfed this point but lucked out as a grommet on a family holiday and scored the one a little further north, very fickle but beautiful area.

re yesterday's wotd, I love that stretch of coast, and Indo and AW are right, fickle and cold as! as a consequence the people are real, gritty, grateful with no sense of entitlement. It is UNBELIEVABLY similar to North Wales, Outer Hebrides & West Ireland, (surf, landscape, geology, livestock, even isolated stone buildings/walls, shellfish farms and motorsport tracks..) I hope you get UK visitors down there, who feel they are in an ocker deja vu dream.

Except for those who though it would be a good idea to take their dog through the farmers paddock which was the only foot access down to this spot. The "Trespassers Will Be Prosecuted" signs went up not too long after. Well that was the story anyway.

Loving the birds in today's shot.
At first I thought it was jazz cigarette ash on the screen and I tried to wipe it off.
I think I need new glasses.

Yep. Very good. At first glance when I opened the page I thought it was a mountain range.

Also great ones the past few days from Judy S and that one from the NW. It's been pumping up there.
