By 'eck it was a chilly one this morning but well worth a dip. Lightish NE wind, 13 sec wave period and 1.3m of swell meant clean 3ft+ on the beach @ Rest Bay today.
I should've got changed into my wetty @ home today but had been too organised last night and already put my stuff into the van. With freezing temps and a frost on the car, my suit was refrigerated this morning and I had numb hands before I'd managed to get my mitts on.
Not many in and those that were, were well spread out so I had the pick of the set waves on a nice peak down near the golf course today.
Had a few nice waves though and the half moon looked stunning as I walked down along the beach only to be replaced by a blinding sunrise.
Little video from 'porthcawlsurf' showing small peaks at the lifeguard station end:
Icy water flooded into my old leaky back panel as I paddled out and I'm beginning to wonder how long this old suit can last now as water temps plunge to 8C and we've got at least another 2 or 3 degrees to go yet! :(
It wasn't classic but had a couple of nice long rights and I caught around 10 waves. I think the Firewire is going to go now and I'll dig out the bonzer for the rest of the winter.
