This is not my photo, but it gives an idea of the waves the low pressure system brought last week (the same low that flooded parts south of us):
Note that this
is Noosa Main Beach, at times known to be a millpond when it comes to surf. At the bottom of that ramp on the right...that's Noosa Main Beach right there (that's the ramp via which the Lifesavers get surfcraft, etc. down onto the beach). You can see, on the left, on the edge of the boardwalk, splashes of water from those waves.
This was last Thursday. The surf then spent two days getting bigger.
Not much sand left. I think we've got a whole winter of sand-pumping from the rivermouth ahead of us once the swell drops off some more (it's back down around a metre/3.5' now).
Cheers,
Marc
