        What Google Earth Doesn't See

        When you rove Earth's coastline, as Google Earth allows and which many surfers are want to do, certain points and coastal kinks stand out as unmistakable locations for good surf. Think J'Bay, G'Land, Lennox, where it's clear swell will peel laterally as far as the coast will allow.

        And then there's the less obvious stretches of coast which the Google satellite orbits without betraying the presence of a good wave. Straight beaches with underlying reef offshore, well-aligned rock platforms, or in this case, a small gap in a reef with a fortunate sprinkling of sand.

        Recently a few lucky surfers got thoroughly pitted while an unknowing satellite flew overhead.
