I heart WOTD
It’s a Big contrast with yesterday’s shot. Today, crammed in bodies eyeing off the prize with a burn to come vs an empty vista with room to park your truck in the shade.
Yep, sick shot today. Feb.26th. Beautiful colours.
Yesterdays was a cracker too- made me homesick.
Such a beaut photo today. Epic colours, light, composition. What a wave too.
Today’s - as anyone from “down south” who has spent time in Qld will tell you there is nothing Qlders like doing more than anything else it’s whinging about the weather unless it’s perfect !!

Well they’ve been getting more than Melbourne’s average annual rainfall in less than a day.

And I thought it was dropping in on each other (and everyone else) was what Queenslanders liked doing more than anything
True LD you have to feel for people flooded out but my comment was about today’s WOTD caption
What a great shot today. Haven't surfed it in a while, always go to the breaks north from here. This photo is tempting me to go for a visit.
Agreed, beautiful lineup shot (Mar. 2nd)
Take your pick- left or right?
The right is better at that size. The left is better when its smaller...
Who said photos never lie, flat right, semi left no good over 3'. No barrels at all, pros would leave it for the beginners. One of my favorite spots ever since the old man first took me there in '69.
If you were to walk through a farmers property further north you might have a got a few good waves on that day.....
First spot i ever smoked a joint (back in my smoking days) in the water. We took it out wrapped in clingwrap and then used some type of flare like apparatus to light it. This experience may or may not be closely related to me also putting my fins in backwards here and then having the screw thread on me on one of them, forcing me to surf with two normal facing fins and one backwards one. Needless to say, the forgiving walls were a blessing. The grass is definitely greener on that side of the fence.
Magic spot.
Jeez. I not so sure about that old-dog. I had one of my biggest RH barrels there.
No beastly lurcher; and not that deep but a true top to bottom 8ft+ baz.
I remember it clearly. It was one of those what if waves. As in "what if' I had just held off my bottom turn just a moment more.
Was riding my first Weasel custom. 6'8 rounded pin. Full deck grip. October 1990.
A lot of “firsts” happened for a lot of grommets in that campground
Another absolutely cracking Wave of the Day photo today. Beautiful shot Byron!

He's 17 as well BD. Great image!
That's epic! Super talented.
WOTD is an absolute ripper. A lot of the front on footage from the Goldy doesn’t show the power that’s there….. no shortage of power in this shot.
yep. Best shot ive seen all swell. Kirra or snapper (behind the rock)?
Edit: just checked photog insta. It's snapper
I was thinking less like chocolate milk and more like the possible after-effects if you swallowed a lot of that water. Cracking shot anyway, beast of a wave, and Mikey is fully committed.
surfed every day during the rain last week/this weekend. Hard not to swallow some water in the powerful waves.
The fear of the unknown dirty water kept many people out of the waves which was great for us that surfed.
Not sure what the big deal is, we surf Bali, where do you think their sewage goes?

Are you sure you weren’t dreaming? You don’t sound like a surfer.
Australia's easiest barrel in all its glory.
Still enjoy the night sessions.
Lost a couple of comments here, fellas.
Hard to say what caused it. Devs checking the problem now.
love wave of the day. scored it a few times in my uni days whilst visiting my girlfriends family. great bodysurfing too.
Had plenty of fish and chips overlooking it. Never scored it like this though.
Rivermourh or narrow bay? Would luv to surf it anyway. I imagine it's a hit or miss type setup.
Surfed it last May 3-5ft for a few days just needs the right swell direction to work.
Fun wave and also a good bodybash on the inside
And the barrel there is an all out tease.
Breaks right by the rocks, boils but never get a real good barrel. The trickiness of it is fun though.
Todays shot looks something out of space. Hows the chop near the ski's
Oh that's a sight for sore eyes.
Is there anything better than A frames? Personally, I strongly think they are the pinnacle of enjoyment for wave riding.
I agree! Rocking up to an empty beach with pumping A-frames is the dream. Keeps it interesting and you can spread out between your mates.
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.
