A drone photographer has snapped a spectacular image of a huge flash rip that formed off the south coast of Western Australia on the weekend.
The image was taken on Sunday at Hamersley Beach, in the Fitzgerald River National Park, by Dene Bingham.
Oceanographer Craig Brokensha said the maelstrom was generated by the big swell that hit the coast on the weekend. That s a big flash rip, there s obviously been a big set, he said.
