Unknown, gulp and blow, North Coast

Surfers along Australia’s east coast have been gorging on surf this past couple of weeks. First, there was the swell of cataclysmic proportions that drilled here then Fiji. And for the past week another East Coast Low resulting in pumping waves at Kirra and the North Coast (where this conspicuous photo was shot). It’s almost as if it’s the waves will never stop, but erm, they will.  And in the not too distant future, if the eggheads are to be believed. El Nino, that naughty little Spanish boy is rumoured to be making his way towards us meaning less storms, less rain and less waves for us. But what do the eggheads know? If we all hold hands and believe, BELIEVE BROTHERS AND SISTERS! we can make this go away. Or just burn all these heretics at the stake. Photo: Alex Ormerod
