It was never going to be a swell that lit up the whole coast. That was the early consensus on Tuesday's swell on the East Coast; the weather was too dynamic, the wind was going to play havoc. But for those who put the effort in there were the odd pockets of power and perfection.

Swellnet forecaster, Craig Brokensha, traversed the NSW South Coast and found a few waves and very few people.
