The weekend's swell on the East Coast was one to keep the working man happy; it hit Friday, built Saturday to an overnight peak, then tapered slowly on Sunday.

At 5pm sharp on Friday, Swellnet forecaster, Craig Brokensha, waved adieu and followed the highway south. These photos were taken at various points between Sydney and Bateman's Bay, anytime between Friday arvo and Sunday arvo. They also explain the grin he's wearing this Monday morning.
