'A vigorous polar front swept from southwest of Tasmania to Victoria’s central coast on Saturday, producing waves of more than three metres.' -Alex Sinnott, Geelong Advertiser
"The models are, for the most part maintaining the forecast for a peak on Saturday morning, showing a 20 to 25ft deepwater SSW swell @ 17 seconds. The storm is already generating 40 to 50 knot SW winds across polar latitudes, below WA and this fetch is on course to travel northeast towards Bass Strait throughout Thursday, setting up a captured fetch of 40 to 50 knots.
However, consecutive model runs have shown a slight, but incremental downgrading in wave-potential; associated with an earlier than initially forecast weakening of the fetch, setting in from Thursday evening onwards. Note this slight downgrading is reflected in GFS, ACCESS and EC model runs. So it looks like wave-growth will cease around 600 or 700 nautical miles southwest of Bass Strait - and I think the resulting wave-decay is probably enough to cap the peak of the swell at about 8 to 10ft at Bells on Saturday morning. Further, EC runs are consistently forecasting wind-speeds a little below GFS - and this points to a further, albeit minor downgrading of wave-potential." - Ben Macartney

surfed here back in 99. great wave. I can only imagine how big port cambell is on that day. I really loved that coast.
Wow!!! :O Those monster waves are almost as high as Hawaii's! I cannot wait to visit this place this weekend!
No claiming, no sponge riders, just the boys with sac, loved it
Gregg Smith Lol, Bells is the worst wave in the world for a lid, it’s so fat. You can keep that sloppy shit. Bells is just a fat wall that old guys can still pretend they’ve got it when it gets over 6ft. Come surf 8ft hollow waves and you’ll know what “sponge” riding is about. Not this kids shit.
Absolute fat burgers. Caine is spot on
Great to see non-comp surfing of the day. Bestists bits is 00:50 - 1:40, for the biggest waves, and those 3 surfers smashed "inside" at the end, 7:15-7:30. Whowh - I'd probably have a heart attack:)
good that you watched the whole thing. did you notice right at the end how the surfer had to duck from an incoming surfboard?
Well done mate top effort!
Great vid!
Scary big!
Nice work!
+Erik Kudrna cheers!
Big lumpy old Bell’s. Huge, well…?
That sounds like them crooked vultures playing on this video yeah? Looks like the group d topography changes pretty drastically due to height and speed of wave.
yep, 'Spinning in the Daffodils' by them crooked vultures.
The wave at 0:50 was a bomb
thank foots pun attenttion to the hay
Nice vid, thanks. Got my blood pumping, can't wait for our next big swell. Did you by any chance see Bodhi out?
+Vincent Martin Bodhi made it out at Winkipop.
No way is Bells bigger than Waimea.
@@Dewitt-b8n you're right. bells isn't even the biggest wave locally. but, with the right conditions, it offers one of the best surfing waves in the world. getting shacked is nice, but every event on the wsl cant just be who can by chance get the cleanest barrel.
"I hate violence"
Vaya con Dios
See there is life beyond the superwank.
Is it just me or does the superbank epitomize everything wrong in surfing?
I no longer can surf with injuries, these seem to be closing on the next section, the swell is it the wrong direction?
Was this really true from Point Break? I saw the movie when I was really young. Thought, Damn, I missed it when Patrick Swayze explained it, I'll go in 40 years or so.....but never knew if that's true about every 50 years. Can someone please explain.....is it really true and how does it make massive waves only every 50 year??
I wouldn't be afraid to believe they do get some crazy arctic storm swell every now and then but its probably not so calculated as in every 50 years exactly.
First it's a film creating a myth. Although weather phenomena is often referred to as occurring in a certain amount of time. Such as a flooding event that may occur once in a thousand years.
Cool vid. What time did you shoot this footage. Is the music you use copyright? I'm always using the lame music from RUclips library. Also ( last question ) what camera and lens do you use ?
+Harry Henry i shot from 8am on till about midday. I just used a 2011 sony handycam xr500. And taped on another lens multiplier and filter. i need a new tripod setup as it was really hard to keep them in frame. The music is copyright which means i cannot monetize the video, and the video cannot be played in certain countries or on certain devices. I'll be uploading a non-music version also.
I bought some alloy Miller Solo sticks 2nd hand and love them, and a 50 year old Miller Head which was given to me and outperforms my Manfrotto MVH-502A head, which are cheap, but useless on a long lens. Sounds interesting the camera set up you have happening. Cheers.
Death on a stick out there mate.
seems to be closing out quite a lot
Dang, they are pumping those big waves out there! We get them that big at Steamer Lane but not at that frequency! But this is your winter swell, right?
+Fen yep. Damn freezing
That is 5/4/3 weather! blue lips from a long surf.
epic
Rad waves, Dude. I only surfed The Rincon & Swami's, N. County SD in da 80s.
Nasare, Portugal gotta be the biggest waves out there
Crazy spot. I definitely want to film it. I just bought the camera and lenses to do the job.
Hermoso :)
who held their beers??
Man that is a nice wave. Is bells a sand bottom?
No it’s reef bottom
tombstone conditions
DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT MAKES IT SUCH A GOOD SWELL? IS IT SHORT BREAK?

Looks like fun...easy take off to a burger and maybe a wall..easy peeezeee.....until you get mowed
Yea days like this are super fun and make you feel like a big wave surfer until you get caught, then you realise how intense the real guys are
Bodhi!
What? There's never a Bell's beach contest! Matches Hawaiian islands.
swell, swell, swell, what do we have here
This is [exactly] how Pt Judith was on Fri Sept 8, 1989...... Asterisk: we wait and wait and wait....... but the two breaks are uncannily similar at almost all sizes, and, of course, very forgiving. Not really heavy.
Theres cliffs on both sides. Im not gunna paddle to new zealand
Looks like the average Margaret River swell.
furfin smith look interested
epic!
I went there a couple weeks ago the sand Felt like Quick sand but I couldn’t go in the water because it could suck u up bye
IT LOOKS WICKED DEEP DROP OFF RIGHT OFF THE BEACH HUH
yeah you jump straight into deep water, it's an awesome place, we went there on a below average day (on bodyboards when I was a crazy 20 year old), but it was still amazing. Can pretty much surf the waves all the way to shore.
Too much water. Would be good to see this the next day on low tide.
+Andrew McClure I filmed that too. Just haven't edit it together yet
+Andrew McClure I filmed a lot of the day after also. I'll put a vid together
Australians = Florences and O'Brien-- daughter of raven.
specsavers are calling you Brandon dipcock ...surfer paddling out
pretty chubbed up
yep slightly overweight
ur at 999 subs mate im gonna put u in the 4 digits enjoy
Cheers sir! It's taken me 16 years to reach 1000!
Did no one notice the huge shark in the first 10 seconds?
was that a shark or someone paddling?
It was a 🏄
Basking shark maybe??? Had large and smaller fin close to it
So where are the big waves?
pity you filmed it with a potatoe
Great surf not so great surfers.
As MR said..most over rated wave in Aus...easy fat take offs..only gotta watch ya don't wipe too much speed off on your turns because the waves so fucking fat
Slo Mo Sux
+Bond Summers it can be used in line with the melodic music and juxtapose the change to driving rock sounds.
Big not huge!!!
Big is larger than huge, otherwise the theory of the beginning of the universe would be referred to as the Huge Bang Theory.
is large bigger than massive?
First it big,then comes huge,then,massive?
Video title's bullshit. For one this is Qotsa and that's not bells it's waimea...
You are incorrect.
@@RogerEssigArtist You don't know what you're talking about. That waves 40 ft plus and bells doesn't brake that big Bohdi.. Also that's definitely Josh Homme and QOTSA. I always find it ridiculous when people post crap they have no idea about and then like there own comment like it makes them right.. SMH..
@@arthurdent6828 Haha what? The guy literally filmed it I think he'd fucking know where it is
@@arthurdent6828 May your day be filled with sponge and tractor dust.
@@RogerEssigArtist I have no idea why I was trolling here.
Bells is fucked that big
Big waves .. though as soon as the toxic music came on . I couldn't be bothered with it
You can turn the audio off and sing.
Mark Sheehan ok boomer
@@williamwalker3898 😂😂
Yawn.......... Ho hum another video of slow Australian mush-burgers.
What do you expect? Bells is shit most of the time. Go watch some vids of the plethora of heavy as fuck death slabs we have here....
Nawhh I'd rather look at Jaws or Mavericks for real, manly surf.
shipsterns makes those waves look like little girls
tortugabob Kook
lhavenothingtosay You'll be waiting forever me thinks...... If Jaws and Mavericks are the only big surf he's interested in and discounts waves like Ours, Shippies, Cyclops etc he's just a kook with no fucking idea what he's talking about....
