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.

Great angle of Kirra today.
Makes it look like a much easier wave than it is.

I love how you can see the state of the open side ocean on the other side of the Pt Danger headland complex.

Did you get up there for this swell, FR? Damn, it looked/looks good.

mattlock Saturday, 3 Dec 2022 at 06:29 pm new

Excellant shot.
True urban-surf.
Superb timing by the photog to capture the line up with so few bods and not one jet ski in sight.

Island Bay Sunday, 4 Dec 2022 at 06:01 am new

Not usually impressed with Nazare shots, but today's is a beauty.

Jono Wednesday, 7 Dec 2022 at 11:20 am new

Great shot - so much more impressive than any of the ski action at Nazare

Supafreak Thursday, 8 Dec 2022 at 07:42 am new

I’m guessing by the colour of the water and shape of the wave …. Angourie ?

bluediamond Sunday, 11 Dec 2022 at 08:25 pm new

Another Luke Rosenzweig classic. Always producing the top shelf imagery. Powerful shot!!

If the two surfers on the right weren’t in the frame you could almost think its a black and white photo

thermalben Thursday, 15 Dec 2022 at 10:51 am new

That is Stu's caption, but I had a secondary caption idea around port, starboard, stop, go etc but couldn't get it to work.

Parallel world with 3 goofers fighting over a left while the natural seeks out a sneaky right.

GuySmiley Wednesday, 28 Dec 2022 at 08:27 am new

Today’s. There’s been reasonable waves there and surrounding points all week. Big shout out to the early morning seniors swimming group all laughter and fun. Love that area especially in autumn and after a good downpour when the air is full of the scent of salt and eucalyptus

wally Wednesday, 28 Dec 2022 at 08:51 am new

Yes, nice photo. Presumably from the Vic surf coast but having such a sunny northern point vibe.

lostdoggy Wednesday, 28 Dec 2022 at 10:30 am new

Well, in a photo, it does get a sunny northern point vibe, including the crowd, but without the wave quality or consistency.

That shot of Noosa takes me back my wave of the year… 9th April 2022.

Got a wave from Boiling Pot to the surf club during cyclone swell.

Hit & run mission to Sunny Coast to see the Oils farewell tour.

Was also my late mum’s birthday!

Happy New Year everyone

I love seeing the length of those lines and how they’re bending. Sick shot.

That was a cracking swell.

wally Tuesday, 3 Jan 2023 at 10:55 am new

Good shot from Tim. The muted colours. The light thru the windblown spray. The photo angle that gives you some of that visceral surfer feeling.

Always a good day to be a geologist!

True Chris. A geologist, a botanist, a psychologist, a philosopher.

There’s always something of interest, if you’re interested.

Thought it might be a certain harbour entrance/river mouth.

Looks like one of my fav waves in the world when it's on the pump. Dreamy!

Sprout Friday, 20 Jan 2023 at 08:27 am new

Av a go at that would ya, could be mistaken for a Ledge up here.

Yeah if not a good imposter, used to surf it when bigger back in the days of my youth always got cleaned up but it never humiliated me like big Main Break often did.

Island Bay Sunday, 5 Feb 2023 at 02:39 pm new

I was guessing WA, but I'm totally unfamiliar with the waves there.

Bnkref Sunday, 5 Feb 2023 at 02:41 pm new

I’m guessing WA but I don’t recognise the wave from the trips I’ve done over there. Looks sick! Great shot.

GuySmiley Sunday, 5 Feb 2023 at 03:00 pm new

Could the angle the photo was taken be designed to hide its true location? If that were the case perhaps it’s a very well known reef on the east coast? Maybe maybe not

stunet Sunday, 5 Feb 2023 at 03:25 pm new

Not East Coast.

Island Bay Sunday, 5 Feb 2023 at 03:26 pm new

Figured it out. On my list now.

andy-mac Sunday, 5 Feb 2023 at 03:27 pm new

Definitely WA... A gem amongst many....

The inside has its own name for its own reason !

Does that mean it's not frowned upon to sit outside and take the bigger ones, then kick out before the inside? :-)

For those wondering about the quote marks in today's caption:

Westofthelake Tuesday, 7 Feb 2023 at 08:27 am new

Showing my age but I knew it straight away, great tune and great pic too!

stunet Tuesday, 7 Feb 2023 at 09:16 am new

Conjured feelings from that and the next line was a fine antidote to reading the B Hamilton comments yesterday.
