Victoria McNeill, The New Wave (OPEN 2021)

The New Wave has been captured during huge swells along Australia's east coast. East coast lows are intense low-pressure systems and can form at any time of the year typically occurring a few times each year. These storms bring damaging winds and surf and heavy rainfall but its an incredibly exciting time for any ocean and seascape photographer.
