Not much to report on the surfing front as we've had a 10 day flat spell now. The only mild excitement has come in the form of snow, a few inches here and there which caused widespread panic for no apparent reason.
It doesn't seem to snow very often in Porthcawl but there was a light shower as I left for work today which confused the hell out of my son, who wasn't quite sure what he was seeing - white rain?
The winds are bitterly cold with more of the same for next week. Temperatures should get a little milder for the weekend according to Derek Brockway in his latest blog over on my BBC Wales Nature & Outdoors website.
The surf forecast is poor. If I didn't know better, I'd swear someone had gone out and bought a new surfboard? thus inducing Huey's wrath and subsequent flat spell...Rattz!
I'm planning on doing the Coney Xmas swim this year. I thought it would be on Boxing Day but have been reliably informed that it's not so Xmas dinner might be delayed if I go into shock - not from the water temp but from going to Coney for a swim!
I've just purchased a suitable outfit on flea bay so if anyone fancies joining me this year - get in touch in the comments area below.
So there's no surf but at least it's cold and dry with the odd bit of snow making it feel very seasonal.
