This summer will certainly go down as one of the more memorable periods of waves for Western Australia.

Not because of the consistent Southern Ocean swells that fan across the lower southwest with each passing frontal system, but because of a series of rare cyclone swells originating from the northwest.

Normally, Tropical Cyclones that develop off Western Australia's coastline during the summer months are located too far north, and track into regions of the Indian Ocean unfavourable for west coast swell production.

But this year it's been different, with three individual cyclones each delivering varying levels of northwest swell to the Western Australian coastline.

Granted, TC's Dianne and Carlos didn't really kick up much size - it was more just the novelty of a rare swell direction that makes them worth noting down.

However, TC Bianca delivered one of the most memorable WA swells in years - of any size or direction - lighting up reefs and beaches around Margaret River in a way that probably won't be seen for many years to come.

Michael Vogelsanger managed to be in the right place at the right time, as this beachbreak unloaded Kirra-like barrels for hours upon hours. //BEN MATSON
