It looked so promising but still made for a good spectacle
Duranbah was looking above average today, with an increase in swell and, before the Southerlies picked up, there was enough to give the locals some good size, fun waves. Here you can see our pick of today, nice carves, air attempt and, laying flat out on the sand, a good size jelly catching a few rays.
Did you know these things can grow to about 45cm?
They are not dangerous and the sting doesn’t really hurt if you hit them while out, mostly an annoyance really causing some itching. If you are hit by one, warm water will help to alleviate this. It has been a very big bloom this year and according to research, there may not be another this big for 10 or so years.
Unlucky, but great attempt
Flat out like a lizard drinking!

An afternoon storm forms over the Gold Coast Hinterland and Mt Tamborine area pictured from Hope Island Marina. Pic by David Clark as found on the Gold Coast Bulletin
The Gold Coast copped a hammering from a band of storms mid afternoon, causing wide spread blackouts from the Northern suburbs of Helensvale and Coomera right down to Surfers Paradise. Many businesses closed due to flooding and the roads had all come to a crawl in most suburbs due to heavy rain.
More storms are predicted with heavy rain and the chance of hail so best keep your car undercover and away from trees and power lines. Don’t forget to tie down any loose items as well that could be caught in the strong winds.

Strolling the point
Early surf is the go unless you hit the spit later as there will be a Northerly blowing, other than that there probably won’t be too much doing on the swell front. It may increase a little through the day but the wind will hurt it. Even if you don’t make if for a surf today its still worth getting out and soaking up some of the Sun but cover up as it is hot….. chance of a storm again too.

Aaahhh Duranbah!
Warm and sultry, morning clouds, still air and stormy forecast for the afternoon which came true. It’s been warm and you can feel Summer just around the corner…. you can also tell by the lack of swell at the moment… BUT, we know it only takes a bit of Natures best to get things moving for us. So it’s just a matter of waiting out this period and hopefully we get a bit early next week.
