- Some big waves rolling through at Snapper Rocks this afternoon even after a significant drop in swell throughout the day. Not hitting the banks perfectly but still plenty of fun ones and a big crew out making the most of it.
Apologies for a little bit of camera shake and wind noise at times, the wind was gusting at around 65km/hour from the cyclone so there wasn't anyway to escape it.

I got a lot of pleasure watching the 2 ppl who dropped in, take each other out, then the dude who got dropped in on finished his wave 👌
looked like a guy in the line up got run over though, could have been a nasty fin cut!
Great waves. Horrific crowd. Drop-ins galore. I stopped watching at 1:13.
I swear most of the time you surf these spots you can’t enjoy a lot of the waves you catch people just all in the way and it makes you draw a weird lines and always dodging people.
Yep exactly what I thought….
I love all the people who clearly see the guy bottom turning toward the lip and they just kinda hang out there in the lip for no apparent reason so the guy has to fuck up his turn.
Now imagine if it was reeling barrels, chandeliers every 5 feet
Way too many kooks and learners with absolutely no idea. You don't go to the main takeoff if you're just learning. That's idiotic.
We're all part of the problem
Yeah, I don’t bother with cone zones.
Keep driving…🚐💨🌊
If the sweep doesn't get you, the dropins will.
😂
So true I remember when I was surfing out were that guy got taken by a shark a while ago and I saw a big dolphin fin and thought it was a shark so I Paddled as fast as I could all the way in it turned out it was just a dolphin 😅
Correct 🤣
Thats not how you spell dolphin
No need to paddle out, just walk out on the bodies😉
Surfing has gone to shit, hate how it is so mainstream now. There is no way you can enjoy that.
You raise a good point, I’m finding myself at the skate bowl more and more
Yep even the dawn patrol is packed now.
I don’t care how good a wave is, if it’s that crowded I’m going somewhere else.
The Fountain of Youth is aging out🥺
Did some link up all the way to greenmount ?
Yeah some did. Fair bit of downtime though, not too exciting to watch.
@@thedailysurf I was there back in 2005 and surfed around greenmount and a little further north and the waves are still really good and hardly anyone there, I must have only surfed snapper and kirra a handful of times and mainly surfed dbah with the blue jellyfish things near greenmount. I found snapper the best time was just before dark for the slightly smaller crowd.
Goldy has some sick surf not gonna lie but that crowd is beyond crazy. Gimme northern NSW anyday
No fun - either you arent good enough to get a wave or you are good enough and then you spend the entire ride trying to dodge 1000 people and cant enjoy the wave.
Surprised the govt doesn't make them wear masks in the water too
0:55-1:00, pure carnage.. those poor crew being absolutely mowed down by that drop-in kook on a gun, yep I’ll take an empty 2-3ft beachy any day 🤣🤣
Great vid, totaly awesome. I really enjoyed watching that to see how fucked it is to surf on the goldy. Can't wait to see the next vid.
100%
There would’ve been a 100 guys saying I surfed Snapper today, and yet, didn’t catch a wave!
it makes me think what some people's expectations of a surf are, mine are a couple of hours in a break with single digit people 10 to 15 decent waves, and home. To some of these people, it must be if I cant snag just one shitty wave i'm done.
Thank God I left the Goldie in the 90's.
I mean it was definitely pretty competitive when the swell was up at Burleigh or Kirra, but 100% there was a hell of alot less dickheads in the water.
Respect has gone to zero
There is none there, attitude is burn or be burned. Dog eat dog shit show.
All the joy of a spot disappears with crowds like that
I would rather sit on the dunny 🚽 reading Tracks or surfing life than put myself through this torture. Sit in line up for an hour only to get dropped in on by 6 Brazillians and Mick Fanning at the same time. 🌊 🌊
Sit on the dunny and watch thedailysurf TH-cam brother! 😂
Love that these videos don't have music blasting on them!
👍 Thanks for watching!
no respect in the water, kooks everywere. sucks
I love surfing snapper but as mentioned you can never relax. You’re non stop thinking planning anticipating… that was extra crazy. The crew down the line seriously intense
Before I ever surfed there you look at the crowd and when it's not that busy you think oh I'll get quite a few today but it's not at all it's like you say constantly paddling toward the point and constantly paddling for waves incase the guy Futher up falls or misses one lol
I would always find myself going in at snapper and ending up surfing toward greenmount for the peace 🤣 this was 2005 so things have gotten even worse now
The crew down the line doesn’t deserve a wave that good
Why would you even surf that , no point in even trying . If you get a good one you’ll get snaked or snowballed
would rather surf a shit spot than deal with those bastards wow they are EVERYWHERE ! are you even riding a wave anymore its more like dodging the whole time .. gotta say amazing shots tho still
😮 it’s so packed that looks beyond hectic! Great shots 🤙
Thanks for watching! 🤙
F that...too many people. We should have more social distancing in the water...ya know, so you don't get the rona...😜
Great to see and here the natural sounds of ocean and chatter in the background cheers and have a great day
Good time to drop a large poop in the water.
Nothing like getting 5 stitches to the head at Snapper shit show!
To hell with crowds. Geez. Pitt Street is nothing compared to this joint. LMAO
How can you surf somewhere so crowded?!
Too crowded. The guys down the line ruin it for the guy in the right place. Sad.
ha ha as soon as it 6 ft its about 1/8th the crowd of this.
In Snapper, when you trying to catch a ( ONE/ONLY/ UNIQUE) wave half of the thousand surfers there will try to catch the same wave and If you got by a miracle the other half will be rooting for you taking a wipeout and if it this not happen, some guys will drop in on you !!
Ridiculously packed out. Why bother?
How shit is that. So many people so many drop ins.
Thank God for the west coast!
Over crowed pack of snakes 🐍
Takes the fun out of surfing!!
Ah, nice sesh with 200 of your closest friends lol 😂
😂
Looks packed but I would still give it a go...maybe more down near green mount . Believe it or not malibu is wayyy worse but you can still have a good time amongst the chaos.
👍
Circus of kooks
Wow, perfection, but some,I got ,so many dudes, Farken drop ins as well. I was surfing there in the late 80s with China, DJ and Big Al to name a few. I'm in up North Dallas Texas USA nowdays.. Man, but seeing this and remembering the waves I got, the people, the lifestyle,, makes me miss it. Theres a wave pool approx 2 1/2 hours from me, I gotta check that out. Last surf I got was in mexico, I g, well he got enough waves on the rented longboard lucky, that spot was breaking and this old fart at 53, got enough waves to confirm its like riding a bike! Enjoy it while you can before Putin Farks up the world and where all living underground!
Could be used as a publicity video for a surf helmet company.
😂 👍
Been there, got the T-shirt....but didn't get any good fin scars on my back to prove it. This should be used in Wiki as the video definition of "clusterfuck".
F@&$ that! you can have it, I don’t care how good it is too many crew and too many burns. I’ll never complain about my Vic lineup again
1:02 hahaha, FK'n Circus
What a zoo! Doesn’t even look fun
Too many humans!
Ludacris - Move Bitch Get Out The Way !
😂
That crowd 🤮
There shall be no joy in this session.
😂
Don’t know what to feel when I watch this. How do surfers become hardened to this crap.
Fair to say Oz and Hawaii have fired this January so far
👍 Hopefully more on the way!
Looks fun but I’d rather surf a 2ft close out by myself then deal with that chaos.
they still let people surf in australia? lol. end the covid madness.
For many of the guys in the water, what about a lesson of "how to paddle out"?? and some lessons about watch out before take off..
Intense
That crowded- should be required to have blinkers on your board. Great waves.
Wow what a shitshow that lineup is!
1:00 look that blue board shorts guy paddling.
so many clowns on the shoulder ugh, nice day though
Not many drop ins at all. Apart from every other wave 😂
Nothing is more beautiful and majestic than mother ocean tossing some waves on the coast.🏄
👍👌
*The Barneyfest in the line-up, is canceling these waves out, I real Kook Blender!*
*I'm sure the competent Aussie surfers knew where to go, and avoided this mess, for better waves.*
I think it was basically not surfable on 95% of the coast this day so not many other options!
Respect for this this guy skipping the crowd @ 1:45 ...by towing into rocks! Die hard, love it. These waves are awesome, no wonder its crowded!
🙌
@@thedailysurf was it fanning?
@@krusher74 lol
Great stuff!
Looks like Malibu with all the ants in water, no fun
That's not surfing anymore
Wtf is this haha? It's like a line up that goes all the way back to the sand, or just crack onto a party wave... Would be so annoying. This is how ppl end up in fights
People need to learn to get the fuck out of way (sit out further and not be in impact zone all the time duck diving...
1:05 - so hectic!!
Yeah crazy. Didn't realise it was so hectic until I watched the footage. Hope he was ok!
So many looking a little too comfortable sitting on the shoulder and ruining lines. How about a bit of urgency to get out of the road?
decap at 1:00?
😂 Hopefully he was ok!
looks horrible no space to carve the face with constant people dropping in front of you
Wow great to see , super busy
Snapper bowling alley!!!
Crowds are utterly mad!!
Well thats one place im never going surfing at 😁
Was very big
Superb, yet again
🙏
Kirra is next door prob got 3 blokes out and pumping
It just gets mental doesn't it😂
horribles and fancy
Yuk
That looks totally awful!!!
Crowded
1:08 makes me feel depressed...
2:06 ouch
Lol it's not that epic.
Horrible, I would hate to live on the Goldie, or nth coast. Even on the far south coast it's pretty well fkd. Most of Vic is fckd, maybe far west coast of SA or nth WA you can still get a wave with a few mates
Surf report: super crowded with a solid chance of getting 🐍
Everyone: let’s go!!!
not even if you paid me to
Friggen water pollution
Watch out for all the landmines. What are we, in Iraq?? Reminds me of surfing Malibu Point los angeles.
wow
Oh it's back at that size where there's 200 people out and people are dropping in from the shoulder
hahaha what a zoo
No thanks!!
What a Zoo!!!
Gorgeous.
Kind of a beginners wave not worth watching really.
Zoolandia!
Nightmare
Yeeeewwwww
Baa...
