Just took the dog for a walk between Brighton and Floz. I have lived in the area for 10 years and never seen carnage like this.

20 feet of sandune gone, all the beach sulo bins washed away.

Dead fish and craypots washed up onshore.

The Floz sewer pipe has had concrete stripped from in and is sticking 2 feet above the beach where it is normally burried under about 6 ft of sand.

20 ft bombs still exploding all over the place.

It is about the most unplayable and unfriendly I have ever seen it, especially because it is just about dead onshore.

I'll sit this one out!

I haven't left the house, no good for nothing this weather. Hope the swell hangs around.

Surf am, kite pm.........my kind of day.

I watched some guys out today south of Perth not saying where but bloody awsome

The point at Edward Island is gone, so is another 10 feet of lawn from the windsurfer park. If anyone sees either please return them, we want them back.

Some people red-thumb the oddest things , I'll try and grab a couple of photos tomorrow Juddy. I was happy to consider driving through the water in front of Werner this afternoon to get around the corner but there was no where to park when I got there.

Hove to agree with eppo once i looked up the meaning of some of the words.
There are spots out there in plan view but some of them require a larger than average set of balls and not the follow the kite in the sky mentality. O look that must be a safe spot some one is kiting there so 50 people show up.

Chris I think the red thumb activation is inversely proportional to their IQ. Their brain goes 'I just, ...just don't get it', and then the fight and flight stimulus response embedded in the most prehistoric part of their brain ( which accounts for most of their cognitive ability), kicks in and they involuntarily click the red thumb.

Eppo, I green thumbed ya but the reds are winning...

This is not good, we are able to see the beach erosion increasing with each season, places like Lano and Wedge might be off the map in 20 years.

I wouldnt think so, the sand flow around there is fine. If they stuck a groin or similar then things would change. By the end of summer it will all be back.

That would be nice, but I can show you pictures I took at Lano 1985 when cars could have parked 5 rows deap in front of Werners, now its one car deep in the water

When i was a kid in the bark ages we had a beach house at Cervantes and Thirsty Point was about 400m Long and if Kiting was around it would have been the best flat water spot on the West Coast.

There is a little less sacred ground now.

Werner's alright. And that park is still good for a beer and a bit of people watching after a kite

At least there's less of the infamous Lancelin seaweed. Any good surf breaks created as a result of the storm?

have you guys not heard about climate change .the holes that are clearly visible from the moon in the hunter valley probably have something to do with it . According to the media hype over the last 2 days over here in the east we are suffering from an unprecedented heat wave .(really . isn't this Australia ,a hot country and its been hot for 2 days,big deal, a quiet news day perhaps. .I saw a rediculous headline that 9 people died today as a result of the heat ,not bad really considering that 401 other people died in Australia today based on averages,hardly newsworthy one would think but it sounded good according to the newswriters responsible for the 6 pm nightly news, urghhh )
oh well at least the greedy capitalists largely responsible for it will have their lovely homes on the coasts values greatly undermined heh heh
