Patons Rock Surf Photo: 'Patons Rock Left after High Tide' by Rob Davies

A rare shoulder to head-high day at Patons Rock, spoiled earlier on by a king tide that caused waves to back off (it's usually regarded as a high-tide break but this tide was too big). Also, the big tide liberated a lot of stranded driftwood making it potentially dangerous.
