East Coast low continues to abate & the surfing conditions improve

As the ‘East Coast Low’ abates along the NSW coastline the surfing conditions improved dramatically, although there were still some wipe-outs along the way. Nonetheless the seasoned surfers enjoyed some great surfing.

 

 

The barrel or tube ride is considered to be the ultimate in surfing. The wave breaks in an orderly line from the middle to the shoulder, enabling the experienced surfer to position themselves inside the wave as it is breaking. Viewed from the shore, the tube rider disappears from view as the wave breaks over the rider’s head. The longer the surfer remains in the tube, the more successful the ride.
