Great surf packs a crowd

By Hollie Harris

WITH a few good sets coming through Noosa points over the weekend, locals and visitors had to learn the art of sharing or miss out.
Sunday was the best day for surf with near perfect conditions along the points.
Traffic banked up to the Noosa Reef Hotel and surf photographer Tito Media counted 115 surfers at Tea Tree Bay alone.
Julian Wilson was among the crowd and collisions were hard and constant.
The waves dwindled to a measly one foot by Monday, but the crowds were patient.
Little Cove offered the better selection of rides early in the day.
With not much around earlier in the week, many were heading down to Burleigh and the Pass for the best surf.
It was reported on Swellnet.com that it was pure mayhem at the Pass with the daily injury toll ridiculously high and the car parking even more infuriating than the crowds.
As the wind turns Northerly and the swell drops off, it’s looking pretty average around here for the next few days with inconsistent NE’ly swell of 2-3ft around on the open beaches at best.
Things are still looking good in the coming weeks with some promising developments in the Coral Sea ahead, and so we wait!
