Storm front

Elaine and Amber watch the big waves off Shacks Beach

A big storm off the East Coast of the US is pushing huge - some say maybe the biggest in 20 years - waves onto our coast.

The beach at Shacks, past Villa Montana to the west and Jobos to the east, has pretty much disappeared as the waves come all the way to the base of the dune.

The surfers are stoked! We're hoping to get some great pictures but so far the waves are pretty disorganized. Everybody was out watching this morning. Nobody was venturing into the water at Surfers or Wilderness, waiting for low tide this afternoon. We're keeping an eye on it. There is a chance of rain in the forecast. If we get much rain, flooding could be an issue because the waves are pushing into the mouth of the river that drains this area. Stay tuned.
