Tuggerah Lake is a coastal lagoon, connected to two other coastal lagoons by narrow channels. Together they are known as The Tuggerah Lakes and are located on the central coast region of New South Wales.
The largest of the lakes is Tuggerah Lake and is connected to the Pacific Ocean at The Entrance. There is only limited movement of water between the lakes and ocean through a narrow channel, and hence tides in the main body of the lakes are negligible. Due to its large size and shallow depth, strong winds can whip up a steep choppy surface.
The set and link in the dance followed by the chase, remind me of breaking waves on the lake in a southerly buster.
