The Gold Coast dawns with blue sky and 10 feet of swell, yet to be fully groomed by the westerly wind.

There's a longer version (11 minutes) also available. See below.

I remember a similar even to this one in 1995 but the low was so slow moving that I think it petered out after about a week. Day after day of torrential rain and gale-force onshores. Up at Main Beach where I lived there were 4-5 metre straight drop offs from the fence line to the sand on the beach (or what was left of it).

I also remember the banks were stuffed for weeks and weeks afterwards. But it will recover- always does.
