That Sydney Storm – Whale Beach

I had seen the forecast a week earlier and could hardly believe what I was see-ing looking at the forecast. A week later and the forecast is more than correct. The wind ferocious, the swell gigantic and the rain, well too much.
Here Jacqui tries not to get blown away while trying to take a photo.
Side note, a week after this shot, I went to check the oil/water on the car, popped the bonnet and I have never seen so much sand blown in the engine bay
Now for a lot of you these following photos might not mean a lot to you, but this is a surf spot at Whale beach called the Wedge, and I have never seen it covered in so much white wash and waves rolling in the break, well looks like the break is getting washed away and the waves hitting the headland none stop so much water even the locals sign is getting a wash that’s like a 3 foot wall of water rolling through there ( never seen that before ) looking south, and waves crashing into Dolphin Bay a seawater waterfall  that’s just massive  and the wind look a the wave rolling in and compare the size of it to the size of the three story buildings in the background The whole beach just one big washing machine and look close you see the waves actually breaking into the car park size of wave vs size of house wind damage I’ll have to come back on a sunny day when there is a “normal” size swell, you would not even see waves break from this spot.
Let’s go check Palm Beach next
