Snowy Mountains to Merrimbula
Known as the Sapphire Coast the waters around Merrimbula are the clearest we have seen in Oz. Colder too. Merrimbula is a fairly busy town with a river disecting the shops and restaurants. When the tide goes out the river forms a massive riptide that pulls towards the sea. Oddly there is a sandbar at the river mouth which creates a back current back up the river. This huge circular current has lends to the popular sport of rip riding. Ride the rip down and then back up again. What a great training ground for learning how to swim in and out of a riptide.
C and J ride the tidal rip at the River mouth in Merrimbula's crystal clear waters.
