Farout man...that took me back. Lived at Kirra right through the 80s. So many epic days, mostly courtesy of cyclones. Abigail in early 82 stands out. Not necessarily for her size, but she hovered at around the optimum 500ks off shore and barely moved for damn near 3 weeks. Although not big, because of her stability and longevity the sand coming off big groyne and down through the point was groomed to perfection. This is all before the superbank and in 87 the GDC stuffed the entire cyclone season at Kirra by bringing in a barge which sat offshore and dredged sand and pumped in close to the shoreline. The first cyclone washed it all out which created a massive very shallow straight sandbank about 200 metres offshore which took all the energy out of any swell before it hit the point. the following summer the GDC got the same barge back to dredge sand from way offshore and this time pumped it onto the actual beach. Again the first couple of cyclones in early 88 were non-events wave wise but the helped siphon some of the sand off the beach. Early March 88 Cyclone Bola rocked in and produced the most epic couple of days of pumping Kirra I'd ever experienced. Some days throughout your surfing life are so perfect they are forever etched into your memory banks. March 8, 1988 was one of those days. It was a Monday and big, thick, perfect barrels freight-trained off big groyne and down the point all day. There was no way in hell I was going to work...and gorged myself on perfection for the next three days. Back to work on Thursday and was fired on the spot hahahaha...but soooo worth it.

I agree with C P, I grew up here, this is the exception to the rule! It is normally pretty good hum. While I have developed my back handed skills here (I'm a goof), I surf mostly D'bah now, as the superbank only pump's when it er, um, pump's! I've had better waves at Maroubra in Sydney. And don't underestimate Macca's (Mackenzie's bay to south Bronte on a solid swell! Fuck the gold coast! And I live here. 20 days a year if ya lucky.

WHY is it even with big swells that the east and north east coast waves are weak and powerless compared to Southern coastal breaks reef point sand and Bommies W.A. S.A. VIC & TAS , is it because cold water swells move faster? We see for sure that they are thicker down here and doesn't need warm to hot water cyclone to create our powerful slabs of swell coming in sets of 3 to 6 typically, but generally 4, with the 1st being smallest 4th the biggest but a 6 wave sets are all over the shop, 1st wave can be the biggest, Dose anyone know why these things are so? I 1st became aware of this as a kid with mates from QLD coming down here and commenting on how much punch even a 4 foot swell has here and 6 to 8 foot was like paddling in front of a train

@reddysteddy2195

The length of the fetch can be much longer down south, and the longer the fetch the more power builds. In SE QLD we get some big south swells that have a long fetch from a long way down the bottom of the Tasman, mainly in Autumn and Winter. They come in with twice as much power as other swells. Very few spots in SE QLD can capitalise on these solid south swells, but if you know, you know! One spot in particular is a South swell magnet, and 6-8ft is absolute carnage, world class beachie bombs.

Anyone being towed while people are paddling is a piece If work. Jet skis are lame

First thing I see is a fucking jet ski.

Music ruined the first half for me. Sad because the surf was incredible.

Really nice waves would love to have been there BUT! somebody please fix the shit awful music i think it gave me arse cancer its so and certainly made me want to cut out my eardrums

The music is way too distracting... so much better with the v way down or off. Music far deeper and sophisticated my suggestion... Mother Nature clearly is that! 🦉
