Very photosensitive at the beach today to the point I couldn’t surf. Has anybody used and can recommend any type of sunglasses or goggles that they’ve used for surfing.

Thanks Udo, I did have a pretty good look first.

If you do buy them. Buy the window treatment from a car accessory shop that beads and clears water on windscreens.

Cheers. I’m having a look at the mormaii surf sunglasses. I’ve read that cold conditions are more susceptible to fogging too. Apparently ventilation is the key.

I had a pair of polarised Emsina swim goggles I used to use for ocean swimming etc. They weren't too bad in the surf , and they are pretty good with fogging issues. Obviously though, I think you're going to have issues with any type of glasses/goggles when the surf gets bigger. They didn't break the bank either. In fact , I might get another pair.
I hate dawnies when it's glary these days. A life time spent surfing and working at sea has left my eyes fried.
