Yes I know, that is one groan inducing blog title but what’s an Easter update without some silly use of the word eggs in there somewhere…..
The long weekend offered up the prospect of 4 days of lie-ins, eating chocolate and possibly some rideable surf…bliss !!
Friday started with a session down the coast in a lesser known spot which offered up the some peaky 3ft shoreys with lightening winds as the day progressed. I took the opportunity to use the other halfs self shaped shortboard, which proved to be really fun and again I can’t apologise enough for riding it up the beach onto the stones….oops!
Saturday morning saw the best conditions by far, certainly if swell size is anything to go by. Most people opted for the relative shelter offered at New Beach, leaving only a handful of us to surf the beaches a bit further down. It’s been a while since I surfed over head waves here but it was a really fun session. (well I say overhead but at 5’3” I recognise my version of ‘overhead’ sized surf isn’t necessarily everyone’s!!)
The wind swung around on Sunday leaving smaller almost offshore conditions. Again much better than expected. Stayed in for way too long and in the end I thought my hands were going to snap off with the cold.
Monday had a reduced size and period wind swell that really didn’t appeal given the recent run of fairly respectable waves for these parts….but a few dedicated souls got in nonetheless.
I am off to Indo shortly and praying that the last few months of healthy eating, swimming, vastly reduced partying/ beer drinking and surfing even when its been useless is going to pay off !
