The call for photos from Tropical Cyclone Lusi proved popular. So much so that here we are, Part 2 of the pixel rush from the East Coast's best swell in a long time.

what a couple of days we had!

Is the water seriously that cold at the moment in Sydney area that everyone is in steamers?

Seriously, I was surfing around the Ulladulla area [Sth Coast NSW] and was in boardies and wetsuit top. I can't believe how people wear steamers so readily now a days, I guess it's because they fit better. The water is still good, the longer you hold off on the steamer the better your winter will be.

I fully agree with you on this one Gillos. Is that short for Guillotines at Bawley Pt? Love Gillos.

Kerry, if I told you I'd have to kill you and then do myself in. To protect the innocent and us, we'll just forget this conversation. O_o

Coming from Noosa in boardies back to Sydney Sunday evening, it was very chilly.

The week before I left we had really warm water, 22-23, but a warm core eddy that brought down the warm water down from the north seemed to have moved away and I think there was some upwelling from Saturday's NE winds. Felt 18 degrees and a bit chilly in a 2mm short-arm.

Was nowhere near as warm as before I left for Noosa.

it got cool for a few days fitz. I surfed in my short arm at dawn and then in boardies before lunch but the arvo mission went back to short arm

Would've been a shock to the system Craig!

I have experienced this in Sydney summer before. It's just funny looking at the photos as with the swell and people in steamers, if you didn't know any better you would think it was winter shots.

Glad everyone scored, the shots looked awesome everywhere.

The light and the offshore in the first photo is beautiful.

Picture number 8, is that an effect or some sort of camera trickery? It's a smokin' photo.

Not much done to number 8. Bit of colour and light enhance, nothing special. The lighting was pretty amazing that afternoon.

zenagain Friday, 21 Mar 2014 at 10:22 pm new

Are you the bloke who took the shot?

Well done mate, it's a cracker of a photo. Beautiful.

s2sphotography Saturday, 22 Mar 2014 at 11:34 am new

Sure did. Cheers.

Thats a big spot light Zenagain hired from "Spot lights R US"

Thanks Welly, I thought it might have been some sort of cheap chicanery on the part of the photographer.

Beautiful shot though.

I sent a pic through to you guys from this swell. Did you get it?

wairarapa Sunday, 23 Mar 2014 at 08:14 pm new

Hi,

How can I get in touch with Eli Marks? It would be good to try and get the second photo of him.

Thanks

kerry1 Monday, 24 Mar 2014 at 06:12 pm new

hell can't believe it last picture of Northy with no one on it.

kerry1 Monday, 24 Mar 2014 at 06:16 pm new

the second photo that looks like the right shore break at Sharkies with Headlands in the background is that right Jason Spence?

No.
