Last night the weather/surf report was looking pretty good for today to produce. So I woke up this morning & drove to the usual spot & it was delivering the goods:) The sun was peaking out through the clouds & barrel after barrel came flying over my head for about 45 minutes. I hadn't seen the inside of a barrel in over a week so I am still super stoked! Then, one wave later the wind shifted onshore, brought the fog with it, & ruined everything! haha. It was an awesome 45 minutes though!

Today was pretty special. The Ocean is alive & it allowed me to be a part of it; even if it was only for a short time:)

Thank you to everybody for this awesome week! I haven't had much time in the water so it has been super fun making some new flickr friends!

Take a huge post-cyclonic (Seth) north-eastern swell, mix with a king tide and a nice offshore wind and you get 12ft waves. Fairy Bower and the pathway between Manly and Shelly beach was inundated. Full gallery of the wave action: mike-gee.smugmug.com/Manly/Beating-up-the-Bower/

Scopello village is pleasant enough, but visitors probably wouldn't come here if it weren't for what lies down on the sea below. A combination of manmade and natural features have created a gloriously scenic little cove which can be glimpsed from the village, and explored up close by swimmers and sun-bathers. Offshore there are dramatic faraglioni, rock towers in the sea. Two historic defensive towers stand poised on the rocks, combining with a third tower up by the village to unify the wider views. And in the small rocky bay there is a faded old tonnara, a tuna fishery, an important part of the history of this part of Sicily. The Tonnara di Scopello closed down in the 1980s, but for a couple of decades it remained as it was left, and visitors could wander among the old buildings and tuna fishing equipment (you can read some more about the Sicilian tuna fishing traditions on my Castellammare del Golfo page). The spot is hugely popular with local Sicilians, who don't mind sharing tiny patches of rock and concrete with many other sun-worshippers, and who revel in the clear waters for swimming.

However, with lots of publicity, and the shooting of films here, including Ocean's Twelve and an episode of Inspector Montalbano, the owners of the Tonnara di Scopello evidently felt it was time to capitalise on the abandoned fishery. The crumbling buildings were renovated and closed off to the public, instead offering accommodation. The Tonnara's owners also privatised the whole cove (and views), to lot of local controversy. If you visit the cove and Tonnara now, be prepared to pay an admission charge.

Up the coast very early this morning with Matthew. Leaving brisbane there were no clouds, however it was raining every 15mins here.

An early morning rain squall a few miles offshore.
