Yes, as at Christmas when it happened a few times, we had a low pressure system sit off the coast and drag a trough down from the northern tropics, also piling seas in from the east. If it comes from the right direction, as it did, then big seas can wipe the beaches, leaving nothing but waves crashing into dunes at high tide (or, in the case of Noosa Main Beach, the reinforcement of the rock wall). The high tides also cause the rivers to back up and flood streets near the estuaries and rivermouths (aside from the natural overflow from heavy rain in the creeks, cutting roads inland).

nonetheless, i just don't even want to hear about it. you don't see anybody surfing in the Seine, even when it's not raining, and it's supposed to be summer here.

Well, that's one of the advantages. Big weather equals big surf, which is nice. Who doesn't like a nice bodybash of an afternoon to clean out the cobwebs and rubbish from all your physical and psychological orifices?
Cheers,
