Southern Ocean Swell

Torren Martyn taking a high line

The weather patterns have finally shifted for Victorians who’ve endured really lean La Niña swell seasons over recent years. With the Great Southern Ocean waking up again, Victorian coastlines enjoyed the presence of big clean lines. Torren Martyn and Laurie Towner got amongst it last week during a trip to the Surf Coast.
