After a slow summer the Great Surf Coast Swell Drought recently broke providing classic conditions to Bells and Winkipop. By classic I refer not so much to the quality but rather the weather under which it broke. The swell was accompanied by a typically Victorian array of atmospheric conditions: moody clouds, squally rain, golden light and the obligatory rainbow.

Russell Charters planted himself on the headland capturing the surfers and their surrounds.
