Best surfing view (for me)

Look for the Orthographic Projection for SW Pacific (185°W 10°S) of wave height. Also of interest is the one for the period of the wave, the quality of the swell, its period. Longer periods mean that the swell is more powerful. These are called ground swell (wrongly) because they do not relate to the local weather condition.

one wave at Long Reef

Usual story with wide angle lens, surf look smaller, and it can't show the wave behind when it is facing forward.
Anyway, fun wave and a bit of an obstacle course.

Resurrect the Diggers Point project

Years ago there was a proposal to make a classic point break between South Curl Curl and Freshwater beaches in Sydney (Australia).

Can the proponents of this project breathe some life into it by making it available on the web?
Some discussion and some clever ideas could make this project happen.
