Big Monday - South African Storm Photo Journal

With the forecast showing an all time swell heading for the coast it almost looked like something had gone wrong here at MSW, the charts just looked TOO perfect, a computer glitch maybe? As the swell started to roll in the buzz around this swell suggested not, we got straight on the phone to see if we could get our hands on something to show just how good it was, if the stories of mile long rides at 12ft+ J-Bay sounded unbelievable the photos tell it like it was...


The charts were showing this for 1 week straight

It looks as though The Bell got truly smashed... This is insane, I have only ever seen this once and I grew up in Kalk Bay. Pity I am in the UK - I would have loved to some of this stuff. You can see all the guys sitting on the reef in the one shot... Nasty, as it maxes out at about 6-8ft normally.
