The solid gold winter swell lines roll around the North side of Point Cartwright Queensland Australia. If you look closely there a a few surfers looking to take on the swell.

Great photo!

Looks like some good right handers of the point :) north facing beach?? Very strange I am use to seeing sunset from directly inland. Great photo

This is from mid June so the sun is about as far North as it will set. I was up at the Point yesterday and the sun almost as far South as it will be this year but we couldn’t see the sunset with a big thunderstorm rolling in from the South West.

The sun also rises at a much lower angle in june. I had a look on google maps, its a north facing beach. I bet this point has some ausome waves when the swell comes from the north east. I usually surf south or east facing beaches, so the sun sets directly behind the shore and rises directly from the offshore. I use to surf without a watch. I would read the sun, so i could know what time it is. My sunscreen would only last about 4 hours. I would make a imaginary mark when looking out to the point. It was a rock. I could tell what time it was by looking at where the sun was according to the rock. I then bought a 10 dollar casio lol ;)

With an NE swell it closes out on the rock shelf, very heavy best in East and SE swells. We also have Noosa with its series of North facing points and beaches just up the Coast.

makes sence. Would come back into the point. Looks like some long rides on good days :)
