That Sydney Storm – Palm Beach

After see-ing the big swell storm into Whale Beach keen to see what was happening at “kiddies corner ” at Palm Beach. And one surfer out. Zane taking off on a solid wave, but these are just the “reforms” on the inside, the waves further out the back are triple the size so this is a “small ” wave for today decent sized “small ” wave waves are even breaking as far as elephant rock, in other words, there’s no beach today I’ve never seen waves break out that far behind the rocks  bigger ones out the back rolling in  up to the road looking fro the pool, the back of the waves is as big as some of the houses no swimming in the pool today, big waves rolling through salt water on the road, not good for the cars so I added these little markers, so on the wave, showing the height compared to the toilet block at the pool and the house above, to give you some perspective as to how big that wave is, and again, these are the smaller waves on the inside, out the back it is 3 times bigger. So fair to say there are 10 meters waves breaking out the back. Last time we had swell like this was back in 1974 so yeah, 50 year storm so without the markers, check the size of this “small” wave Elephant rock drove up to north view to get a better look of the beach “The Joey” is just a washing machine waves rolling inland up the hawkesbury river if only we had a nice right hand point break that would work in big swell like this, but the water is too deep there that’s like a waves breaking nearly a km of the beach out the sea huge
