ROUGH SEAS CAUSE CHAOS By Jo Kennett
SOME SURFERS are calling it the best surf they’ve ever seen, as a trough blocked by a low-pressure system in the Tasman Sea sent swell pumping onto the coast over the weekend of July 13 and 14. Former world junior champ Robbie Johnson was surfing a Tweed beach break he said
was like backdoor Pipeline, while others compared another beach break to Puerto Escondido in Mexico. “It was six to eight foot and just beautiful, glassy conditions,” Robbie said. “The barrels were intense, I got one that spat like Pipe.” Luke Porter photographed the surf on Saturday morning at Hastings Point “It was good at Caba late in
the day and Sunday morning it was good again and it was still good Monday,” he said. “It’s not often you get two days of offshore winds with all that swell.” Ryder Johnson spent most of the weekend surfing the Tweed Coast but got in a late session at Snapper on Saturday. “It was the best surf of my life,” he said, with multiple big barrels on each wave.

Josh and Sierra Kerr and a handful of others were towing in to the longest barrels at a Tweed Coast beach break. Caba Boardriders president Muzz Ryder said from Queensland to Sydney, surfers are calling it “the best it’s been for 20 years.” “A lot of locals are calling it the best they have ever seen,” he said. “It’s the best I’ve ever seen.”
