Packing a punch: in both hemispheres

The biggest wave ever recorded powered through Tasmanian waters yesterday at a crazy 18.4 metres (yes, metres, not feet!). The same swell is predicted to produce a monster surf in Sydney this weekend. The photo shows Manly this morning as it builds.

Of course, Taiwan itself will also feel some power this weekend, but we'll wait and see if we can get out past the coast guard somewhere as Typhoon Fanapi rumbles across. The east coast was certainly building in strength this morning...

and I just love this shot. The girls are certainly showing the guys how it's done over there...

Be safe!
