Wainui Beach - Whales Surf Photo: 'Short period easterly swell' by Rob Davies
Nothing special compared to cyclone Pam swell a week ago but this little easterly swell slowly built to overhead and stuck around for 5 days peaking with some head-high sets this day. It was significantly bigger up the coast but tended to be more wind-affected from Tolaga Bay north.
