Well spotted!

The WOTD images four days prior to the date of your forum post were from the Gold Coast, Shipsterns, Gold Coast and P-Pass.
The WOTD images four days after the date of your forum post were from the Gold Coast, Indonesia, Mid North Coast, Shipsterns.
So, I'm pretty sure I've got the correct image (you created this forum topic at 11pm the same day, so it would have been fresh in your mind).
And yeah, it's a sensitive location. But it's not in WA. And it was a photo of an empty wave with no geographical giveaways.
And to the best of my knowledge, this wave is mainly frequented by bodyboarders anyway.

My 2 cents. Drawing attention to these spots (i.e. that WOTD or the Vicco spot on the other thread) when photos goes up just draws attention to the shots, which would have otherwise just passed under the radar like most other things. Forum comments create way more specific-publicity than the shots themselves ever would have!
Swellnet ain't Wannasurf (i.e. it's respectful), and neither of those shots are good enough to inspire the masses to scour them for details...
Like I said, my 2 cents.

Agreed Leckie. I was just clarifying two points raised by Southey which were incorrect (previously raised in another thread, here).
![thermalben's picture thermalben's picture](https://www.swellnet.com/sites/default/files/styles/userimage_128x128/public/userimages/picture-21-1670380423.jpg?itok=ELtia8Va)

Yeah it was a left Southey. But due to the position of the sun on the horizon, the photo would have had to have been late afternoon (not morning). That's probably where you got your wires crossed.
For what it's worth, we've run (unnamed) photos of the same location many times in the past. All of 'em empties too, just like this last one.

Let it slide Southey, you know how these things work, the "stink" draws more attention than the actual photo.
FWIW, that pic of yours in Bloggers Waves looks mighty familiar, that sand hole in the front holds some v nice KG Whiting doesn't it ?

Southey, so how do you propose we set a threshold, regarding what images can be posted and what can't? Keeping in mind that the decision making process (for each WOTD) usually takes a few minutes, and is often done in the pre-caffeinated moments before dawn every day.
Seriously, I've had WOTD images on Swellnet since about 2005 (or maybe before, I can't remember when I kicked it off). That's in the realm of nine years, or more than three thousand consecutive daily WOTD images (all of which have been shit-hot, if I don't say so myself). And that's not counting the thousands of galleries we've also run, plus a ton of images on Facebook.
I really think you're making a mountain out of a molehill.

To the bulk of punters we are speaking in tongues, everyone else KNOWS where EVERY locale' is.
One of the other Bloggers pics is more obvious (there's a cave involved), but again let it slide, no harm done.
C'mon mate, we've had some good chucklles about WOTD in the past, even amidst an ensueing maelstrom. Stu and Ben are respectful of such subtle pressure points IMO, and where else will you get a perso to perso response from the Eds

aw for fucks sake Southey, stop giving it oxygen, and stay off social media yourself, including loading ANY pics at all, if it bugs you so bad. C'mon mate you're bigger and better than this JED-isphere BS.
BE WARNED : The JED-isphere is contagious, if you get to the point where your trying to avoid them, you've actually joined them, and its time to get out.
Chill man, get back to the Tunes thread with some Bob Marley twisties.

Correct. And for the record, King Island is in the ocean, half way to Tassie.

Whooppee chook shit, doesn't make it part of "their coast".
But see what you've done Southey, uploaded pics on social media, then started bitchin' about pics on social media. Where it is/isn't, I don't give a fuck, thats your shit, but don't eat the apple then squeal about apples being eaten.
Now you have a stink. Same as it ever was. Back to you, all yours. I'm off to the wood chop.

Christ, you just can't let it go can ya? For the last time, the photo is not from West Oz. Here's a clue: neither is the photographer.
Would you like a signed certificate of authenticity from the photog to hang on your wall?

I still don't know what you're talking about. NW is devil wind at this joint. And was the image taken in summer? I dunno.. it could have been taken many months before.

Well I reckon you're talking crap Southey. If it ain't where I think it is, which I doubt, and you reckon it ain't a sensitive spot, give disclosure of locale' to prove us wrong. I ain't gunna say where I reckon it is cos not allowed - your's & their rules, not mine.
This is where things go astray, someone did similar not long ago. Nah Nah its not there they squealed. but it don't matter cos now its full of speculation and intrigue and conjecture. Ultimately, its gotta be somewhere so really what's the diff ?
Spare me the my pics cool but that pics not, this spot's sacred but that spots not, I can't be fucked living my life that way.

I'm going there in April - can someone send me directions to the left??
Southey if there is a similar wave in WA I'm real keen too - as long as its not taken over by boogers as well.
How dare You ...... :-(
