Jeez the sound of the surf this morning sounds rough.

I was cleaned up fairly hilariously yesterday by a triple wave (where 3 waves sort of turn into one). Seen 2 waves do that before many times but not 3... I was not ready for that ~3m wall of water.

I think that was my first real encounter with a rogue wave. Usually diving under waves is no biggie but it certainly did not work with that one.

Good reminder that the sea can f you up even at 'safe' beaches

edit: and hrmm, another drowning this morning just down the road at Barwon Heads apparently a boat overturned :( It's rough out there today so if you're planning on swimming on the surf coast over the w/e take care.
