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.

Nice one , 100 percent craig .
Did you shoot from water or land ?

Craig Friday, 2 Aug 2024 at 08:25 am

Water mostly, besides a couple from land before heading out.

Lanky Dean Friday, 2 Aug 2024 at 02:50 pm

Bravo ,
100 percent craig.
Such great photos, the fold of the wave looks like tavi rights !
Why leave home in winter when there are waves like these.
Right under your nose...

Craig. I love your work, the angles from the water level where you are situated must make the waves feel immense.

Hi to your loved ones, I’m sure she’s growing fast. AW

Such an unique wave and beautiful spot, I have great memories of surfs here in the 90s outside of weekend crowds

Supafreak Saturday, 3 Aug 2024 at 01:13 pm

When I was young , many fond memories. IMG-8084

indo-dreaming Saturday, 3 Aug 2024 at 01:50 pm

Nice thats solid, never saw it that big, always seemed less than half that size and often less than ideal swell direction, but crowd numbers were pretty low and still lots of fun.

Such a great wave and area.
Love hanging down there.

Supafreak Saturday, 3 Aug 2024 at 02:47 pm

A friend was down there recently and misjudged his paddle out from the beach . Found himself touching life & death with his toes and frantically trying to duck dive whitewater and get back to the beach . Some locals ran down to the rocks and yelled for him to head out to sea and not try to paddle to beach . He took their advice and lived to tell the story .

Ashsam. Hi mate. As good as gold. No waves today, super clean but tiny. Zero degrees at dawn, nice sunny 15c day coming up.
Next pulse Tuesday unfortunately, waves will come, said the Duke. Aloha. AW

Today’s is a what an absolutely bloody cracker

indo-dreaming Sunday, 4 Aug 2024 at 03:19 pm

Havent surfed this point but lucked out as a grommet on a family holiday and scored the one a little further north, very fickle but beautiful area.

You’re are becoming a great cryptic geographer. Keep it up. AW

You don't have to be Eratosthenes to find this joint on google earth, never been but took me about 2 minutes, the clue was too easy and made me smile.

Old-dog. Hi, surfed there years ago, water temp, brrrr, and that was in February. AW

goofyfoot Monday, 5 Aug 2024 at 07:34 am

That’s mental.
Who are these low key lunatics that surf these waves.

basesix Monday, 5 Aug 2024 at 07:35 am

re yesterday's wotd, I love that stretch of coast, and Indo and AW are right, fickle and cold as! as a consequence the people are real, gritty, grateful with no sense of entitlement. It is UNBELIEVABLY similar to North Wales, Outer Hebrides & West Ireland, (surf, landscape, geology, livestock, even isolated stone buildings/walls, shellfish farms and motorsport tracks..) I hope you get UK visitors down there, who feel they are in an ocker deja vu dream.

Except for those who though it would be a good idea to take their dog through the farmers paddock which was the only foot access down to this spot. The "Trespassers Will Be Prosecuted" signs went up not too long after. Well that was the story anyway.

rj-davey Monday, 5 Aug 2024 at 01:37 pm

That's wild. I don't know whether its because there's so much dark blue in frame but that looks hectic as.

seeds Monday, 5 Aug 2024 at 02:19 pm

That could be out of focus sepia and it still looks like death.

Nice one today.
The lip line matching his casual curve of his back.
Noice brah

Craig Tuesday, 6 Aug 2024 at 08:18 pm

Yeah aesthetically pleasing isn't it!

mattlock Wednesday, 7 Aug 2024 at 08:43 pm

Excellent shot today.
Thanks to all the WOTD photogs.
And to Stu for curating.
Loving the birds in today's shot.
At first I thought it was jazz cigarette ash on the screen and I tried to wipe it off.
I think I need new glasses.

More lip line symmetry, following up on Tuesday’s slacker slouch. Nice.

Yessss Mick. Thanks you. With all of this Olympics and final 5 trestles chatter, I love bringing it back to this. Your shot. It’s pure.

Nick Bone Wednesday, 14 Aug 2024 at 08:48 am

Hhaha. I like it

southernraw Wednesday, 14 Aug 2024 at 08:52 am

Great shot today.

Bnkref Wednesday, 14 Aug 2024 at 09:11 am

Yep. Very good. At first glance when I opened the page I thought it was a mountain range.

Also great ones the past few days from Judy S and that one from the NW. It's been pumping up there.
