The weather forecast for yesterday said hazardous surf conditions, they weren't kidding, it was wet and wild. Luckily there weren't any surfers attempting to ride these waves.
Much calmer today though and the sun is shining. .
Beautiful...we have a dangerous situation at our seaside at the moment as well, a combination of weather factors and more people at the beach than usual, so hundreds of rescues a day and a few drownings as well, I’m afraid ....
@maggiemae no it wasn't late, it was about 2 pm the sky was just black because of the rain. I just managed to get back to the car before the heavens opended again. In fact I got blown back to the car because the wind was wild
@beryl Yes they would Beryl, in fact a chap drowned while surfing at Collaroy about 200 km south of here about the same time that I took this photo at Fingal Bay. Conditions were similar to here.
Makes for a great picture. I read in the paper recently that the biggest surfing waves are in Portugal. Can't remember the name, but the pictures were incredible
@busylady Maybe the beach you mentioned was Praia do Norte at Nazare in Portugal. The grandson of a friend of mine travels around the world surfing.
@momamo Apparently a surfer drowned on this day too but in Sydney as the conditions there were similar to here. You always seem to get one foolhardy person don't you.
