The Swellnet team recently took a trip west of Adelaide, in part to celebrate the new Daly Head National Surfing Reserve (keep an eye out for a coming article) and in part to get a few waves. Here are a few photos taken on the road.

All photos Craig Brokensha.

Just A Drop

Thu 2 August 12:00am

Most of the time it sits there dormant. Invisible. You wouldn't even know a reef lay down there. At five foot it'll stand up ocean swells betraying its presence. At eight foot it'll make 'em break.

However, even when the Queenscliff Bombora is three times that size it's just a drop. Nothing more. No real wall or carve section to speak of. It's hardly worth the effort to paddle out to it.

Flying On A Forecast

The Long Wave Trough had parked itself in perfect position, sending a large long-period sou-west groundswell towards the state, and the weather forecast was superb with light offshore winds and sunny skies.

These photos weren't taken today. They weren't taken yesterday. In fact, they weren't even taken this week.

Swellnet forecaster, Craig Brokensha, took them last Sunday during a fun little east swell on Sydney's northern beaches. Posting them on Swellnet was at the top of my 'to do' list on Monday morning.

So here we are, five days later, and I can finally tick the chore off the list. Hope y'all had a productive week too!

The Yesterday Show: Part 1

Craig Brokensha
Thu 7 June 12:00am

You all know the background by now: powerful East Coast Low, strong winds, big waves etc etc etc...but what about the surf? The rideable stuff? Well, there weren't that many places handling the swell yesterday so the range is a bit limited. This stretch on Sydney's Northern Beaches was one of the few places coping with the swell and it put on a fair display throughout the day.

Luxury Holiday

Craig Brokensha
Mon 7 May 12:00am

The last few times that Swellnet forecaster, Craig Brokensha, has taken annual leave it's coincided with great surf on the East Coast. 'Good timing,' you might say and you'd be kind've right. Rather than spending his holidays here on the East Coast however, Craig's been spending it a few thousand k's away where he's also getting good waves minus the East Coast crowds.
