Surfing: Llandudno - Capetown Wind Direction: SE Wind Stength: Surf / Sea State: 4 foot sets Air Temperature: 25C Sea Temperature: around 10C Weather: Sunshine Max Speed: Distance Covered:
This was my first time in the Atlantic ocean since I was last back at home
a year ago. The water on this side of the peninsula was frickin freezing.
My feet were numb instantly and every wave that i got nailed on gave an ice
cream headache. It was a big shock to the system getting into the water
here. As soon as we swam out the back there were a pack of dolphins
swimming around which was awesome to see. I thought they were shocks at
first but apparently there not very common on the west coast. There all on
the East side of the cape which is on the back of your mind when paddling
out for the next wave at Muzenberg.
Llandudno is a world class surfing spot. I could see the potential as its a
great beach but today the surf was closing out to fast and theres one hell
of a shore dump. You get it wrong on trhe wave and your drilled into the
seabed!! That happend quite a few times to me and the 7foot board was just
too big. After getting absolutely nailed in the cold water. We called it a
day and chilled out on the gorgeous bech for a few hours. One half of the
beach was closed for filming and they were using an old hang glider so no
idea what kinda film its gonna be.
