One of the reasons for going down to Burleigh Heads was to get back in the water, and our apartment on the 15th floor of the Burleigh Beach Tower gave us a cracking view of the water. Sadly it also clearly showed us the weak, late breaking waves...

It may not sound much, but to our untrained bodies it was pretty exhausting. This sums it up...
