Description

I had a beautiful day strolling along the beach from Narrabeen to Collaroy in Sydney but wanted to wait until sunset before heading off.
I reached the Collaroy beach pool, the waters were calm and a man was happily fishing from the back walkway behind the ocean or tidal pool.
Then, all of a sudden this wave seemed to come from nowhere and just explode, a real surprise wave which surprised me, but more so the fisherman who decided to leave.
I had already set my camera up on tripod for long exposure shots before this wave came along.

[Information from 'Beachsafe website]
Narrabeen-Collaroy beach is Sydney's second longest beach. The 3.6 km long beach curves in a gentle east-facing arc between 20 m high Narrabeen Head in the north to rocks and low cliff at Collaroy Point, with beachfront houses and apartments backing much of the beach. The northern Narrabeen end was named after the daughter of the aboriginal chief at the time of early white settlement in the 1840s, while the southern Collaroy end was named after the paddle-wheel steamer 'Collaroy' wrecked on the beach in 1884. Collaroy Beach was a weekenders and campers haven in the early part of the century.
