Best of 2016

2016 was a year of contrasts and firsts.

Early in the New Year a couple of large easterly groundswellls lit up most of the East Coast beaches, reefs and points, while a slow autumn gave way to a great winter, championed by the unprecedented Black Nor'Easter swell event.

Spring was consistent and fun with persistent southerly swell pulses, while we've ended the year with a typical summer dose of north-easterly windswell.

See you all in 2017. // CRAIG BROKENSHA

Noice, Craig.

Now send me some swell! :-)

Also a fine summary Sprout. I don't know how they survive the long in-betweens up there, and then when it gets good everyone is on it.

Let's do better in the year ahead, damned well going to try.

Thank you, Craig! Fine work. I can report that Vietnam had nothing on Australia this year, as usual.
