[PT-Ours] On Wednesday 13 May 2009, seven-time World Champion and renowned Hawaiian charger, Layne Beachley, rode what all witnesses were calling the best wave ever ridden by a female surfer in Australia. The venue, Ours, Sydney's infamous slab.
Thinking she's too deep ... Layne Beachley© 2009 - Billy Morris/Coastalwatch It was by far the biggest and best day of surf in Sydney so far this year, a lot of Sydney surfers tagged it 'Big Wednesday' 2009. The triple sucking reef break, named "Ours" by the Bra Boys, is for experienced big wave surfers only. Located off Cape Solander at the entrance to Botany Bay in sharky waters, the wave breaks over a shallow rock shelf literally metres in front of dry rock.
It was the best swell to hit Cape Solander since the infamous June 2007 storm swells that grounded the Pasha Bulker. The swell was in the 6-8ft range out of the SSE and winds were light offshore westerly all day. The sun was shining and the water was an unseasonably warm 21 degrees.Ben Horvath Coastalwatch editor
