Rain, Wind, Waves and more Rain... The Gold Coast has been beaten and battered over the last week and a half with sustained wind over 70k/m and gusts over 100 k/m from all directions. This could only mean one thing... Massive storm swell which peaked on the buoys over 11 meters at 14 seconds.

View from Greenie looking at Snapper Beaches were closed for seven days, the longest in over 30 years! The Gold Coast no longer has pristine white beaches, instead cliffs up to 3 meters high left beach goers high and dry. The Gold Coast City Council reckons it will take over $40 million to clean up all the debris and replace full size sand dunes. Beaches were not the only thing washed away, we also lost all of the Shark Nets which lined the coast...and every surfers peace of mind!

Froggies with some fresh powder...Not Many spots were lining up nicely as it was Jet Skis only! Burleigh was too bumpy, Snapper was breaking wide, Kirra too windy. The only spot lining up to par was The Alley.
D'Arcy Team rider Asher Pacey was amongst it partnering with Artist turned Nuclear medicine man ADO... here they are in action below
