Little vid from yesterday from the pt. lonsdale lighthouse overlooking the pier / Rip. Shitty phone cam so excuse that (can mute it it's just wind / white noise). But it was wild.
I went on the pier and a biggish wave hit, made a fair few people freak out lol. Pier moved pretty violently so most of us got out of there pretty quickly.
On the way back surfers were rushing in with a smile on their faces a day after 18 ppl got swept out. Different breed.
I saw in the news that a bunch of people had to be rescued - they’re so lucky, could have been a lot worse
