Peter and I decided to make a trip down to our favourite
beach, Burleigh Heads, and check out the waves after the storm. It had gone down, but
there were still some big waves, maybe 3 or 4 meters high. The beaches were
still closed, but there were a few foolhardy idiots out in the surf, and with a
very strong beach edged river movement they were being swept northwards at a
good pace.

It looks like the waves came up to here, right beside the road. |

The waves are still big, you can see a surfer standing on the wave. |

Meeshes Restaurant. The waves were crashing right through the bottom level of this restaurant. |
During the height of the storm, up around the Sunshine coast
there was a massive amount of sea foam produced. It floated right up over the
beach and onto the streets. I have seen this before, in 1974 I think, when we
lived in Napier, during Cyclone Bola the same thing happened along the
foreshore. It was the most amazing sight.
Here is a car coming out of the foam on the Sunshine Coast. This link is the news on USA television.
In case you missed it check out this link.
