- On the 3rd of June 2024, Armed with my camera, I stood watching and filming the few watermen who dared to surf one of the biggest swells ever to call upon St Francis Bay. No one dared to paddle out as there was no possible entry point, this swell commanded respect, speaking a language of its own, warning of its unfathomable might, almost as if to say “I don’t want to be surfed”.
Days before the swell, I ventured to Seal Point, greeted by a heavy mist that just felt mysterious, Its fleeting presence hinted at the magnitude of what was to come, perhaps a prelude to the creation of greatness by the looming Cut Off Low pressure system that would eventually send us natures spectacular power and beauty.. and a day to be remembered.
Hope you enjoy this short edit to show you what I saw, experienced and captured on the Biggest Baddest Bruces and St Francis Bay I’ve ever seen. The crazy Jet ski step off’s and the mind blowing bravery of these surfers/waterman who risked their lives to experience a one in a lifetime swell and opportunity.
PS: St Francis Bay is a relatively chilled bay with swells rarely reaching over 4-6ft.. so this might not be Jaws or Nazare`... but for this little bay it was Godzilla Size!
Special thanks to @gumbootcamera for the incredible drone footage in the video.
Also thanks to the surfers/watermen who dared to venture out there and gave us something awesome and spectacular to watch and experience.. it takes incredible talent and skill.
Thanks for watching!

That would have been epic if, those houses weren’t there and, the sand from the dunes covered the rocks and kept the wave the way it was in the movie “Endless Summer”
True.. I’ve watched St Francis Change over the last 35 years🥲
Unbelievable

💥
who are these okes that had the kahoonas to go out there 😂
I know.. very unpredictable situation!
😮💨😅
Gigantic? And only one legit surfer who paddled in, while surrounded by tow kooks on their SeaDoos, doooing up the sea with oil, exhaust, noise. Kooks on sleds, yawn.
Hey Marty.. I agree it’s not Gigantic compared to Nazare or Jaws but for this little bay it is.. I actually spoke about this in the description.. as for the 4 “frothing”guys on the Jet skis.. there was really no entry point to paddle out..so they just had to make a plan so they could get to surf this very rare swell.. last time it was like this was back in 85. Appreciate the comment..
Omg tow me in bro….really 🤦♂️
lazy using jet ski's in head high mush
Nice video, but FAWK that is some awful music!!!
