Preston - My family have a holiday house in preston. I remember one easter on this one day, the waves where rolling in like scarbs or trigg beach (not that these waves r that good) and breaking quite a bit off shore, not like its usual beach breaking self. We have been down to preston every year for 20 odd years but have never seen it do it again. It was a very strange day.
