Kirra Tubes

Kirra time-line

Prior to 1840 — Kirra is not known by its current name and is rarely visited by white settlers.
1840-1910 — The first white holiday-makers start to visit.
1910-1920 — Holiday-makers increase, making Kirra a popular recreational beach area.
1930s — The opening of the South coast road increases the popularity of the southern Gold Coast as a holiday destination. Camping was very popular for families because Kirra had a long beach and a low-lying dune system.
1960-early 1974 — The Tweed River breakwaters combine with a series of low-pressure weather systems to result in serious sand erosion. This brings the high-water level to just below the coastal road.
1970s — Big Groyne built at Kirra’s south end.
1995 — 30 metres taken off Big Groyne to help fight erosion at Greenmount Beach.
2001 — Start of Tweed River sand bypass project.
2003 — Little Groyne completely buried in sand.
2006 — Project launched by Griffith University Coastal Management Center to restore the beach
2010 — Kirra remains a mere sliver of its former self but can still provide a perfect racing barrel on its day.

SEA HOLE

Some waves are perfect, others are flawed and this wave is somewhere in between. No takers this day so Asher Pacey jumped at the chance for a few empty caves.

ART SURF

Surfing and Art have long been tied together and are often spoken as one in the same. The act of riding waves and simply waves themselves are such a special thing, so it is no wonder that people have been drawing painting and photographing them for ages. Surf related art can be found dating back as far as 3,000 years ago in Peru, where engravings were found depicting ancient surfers riding waves. Now days surf art comes in all sorts of forms from simplistic line drawings to intricate oil paintings and beyond. Below are a few simple sketches done to pass the time in the morning as the swell fills in. . .

What is a perigean spring tide? April 3, 2012

What is a datum? February 1, 2012

Datums are the basis for all geodetic survey work A geodetic datum is an abstract coordinate system with a reference surface (such as sea level) that serves to provide known locations to begin surveys and create maps.

How do we forecast harmful algal blooms? January 6, 2012

NOAA's Harmful Algal Bloom Operational Forecast System in the Gulf of Mexico identifies whether or not a bloom of algae is likely to contain a toxic species, where it is, how big it is, where it's headed, and if it could become more severe in the near future. Like a weather forecast, this system provides officials advance warning to test and close […]

Will debris from the Japan tsunami reach the U.S.? December 14, 2011

For most areas it could be a matter of years, not days or weeks, before debris from the Japanese tsunami reaches the United States. The debris clumped together when it first washed into the ocean, but it has since dispersed, making it difficult to locate. This makes it hard for scientists to tell what types of debris are still afloat and how much of it will […]

What is the cryosphere? November 30, 2011

The cryosphere is the frozen water part of the Earth system There are places on Earth that are so cold that water is frozen solid. These areas of snow or ice, which are subject to temperatures below 0°C for at least part of the year, compose the cryosphere. The term “cryosphere” comes from the Greek word, “krios,” which means cold. Ice and snow on land are o […]
