Wharariki Beach Surf Photo: 'Cyclone Pam swell - day 3' by Rob Davies
Day 3, and the last day of Cyclone Pam swell. Not as good as the day before. Still some well overhead sets at the far end of the beach, breaking very far out, but very fat and evidently quite hard to get onto on a shortboard. There is a surfer there for scale but he's just a dot.
