waves and wind

While holidaying in Kalbarri recently (about 6 hours north of Perth), I took the opportunity to photograph the waves and surfers at Jake's Point one afternoon. The weather had been sunny and fine most of the week, but one afternoon we had wild, wet and windy weather. That makes for some great waves, which in turn makes for some great surfing action.

Jake's Point in Kalbarri is a left-handed break that allows spectators to be very close to the surfing action. With a 200mm lens on a crop body, I was able to capture the action, and spent an hour or two in light drizzle watching the surfers.
