Biggest Wave Ever Surfed

Bizarre Monster Waves Crashing The Manly Ferry – As Wild Weather Hit Sydney

A Sydney deckhand has captured amazing images of the Manly ferry being swamped by monster waves. Horrendous conditions on Sydney Harbour over the weekend gave ferry worker Haig Gilchrist the chance to hone his photography skills. A stunning image he managed to snap amongst the chaos shows a huge wall of water about to crash into the side of the ferry.

‘East Coast Low intensifying,’ Mr Gilchrist captioned the photo he shared on Instagram, later commenting: ‘Great day to be working.’ The image has taken the internet by storm, with hundreds of commenters praising his talents as a photographer. Others were more interested in the damage the monster wave had caused. Another snap taken over the weekend shows the bow of the ferry almost completely disappearing as it travelled through Sydney Heads.

The monster waves were a result of a developing weather system rolling through the state.The swell is set to peak at three to four metres in some areas, with even larger and stronger conditions further offshore. The warning comes just days after two men drowned in separate incidents at Bondi and Bellinger, near Coffs Harbour.

The weekend footage is not the first time Mr Gilchrist has shared photos of a treacherous journey on the Manly Ferry. In January, Mr Gilchrist captured the moment the boat was thrown around on the rough surf.
