If you haven't heard yet or have been living under a rock, the Gold Coast has been PUMPING for over 2 weeks... Which brings us to apologize for not updating the blog, if you are reading this you can understand why. Need more justification, then just scroll down.
The surf has been well into the 4ft range for most of this time. Over the past weekend the swell grew even more to the 6ft+ range and most spots were maxing out, sweep was unbearable and Jet-Skis littered most spots with cowboys driving them without a clue or a care for the real men who were paddling. Nevertheless, this has been an extraordinary swell event, especially given our forgettable summer. I could begin to try and explain where the swell has come from but there has been that much activity in our swell window it doesnt matter. There is swell.
