Splendid Late Season Pulse: Snapper Rocks Comes Alive

It still does, however, draw in the occasional late-winter to early-spring east swell that is gladly welcomed by Gold Coast locals—all 500,000 of them. Here locals Joel Parkinson, Sheldon Simkus, Nick Vasicek, Brent Dorrington, Luke Egan, and Asher Wales make the most of the late-winter pulse at Snapper Rocks.
