Big Monday

It's pretty big out there at the moment.... Too big to go out on my own in wind that is a little inconsistent. Solid 6ft+ surf with waves breaking miles out to sea.

I've just been watching it at high tide and the was reflected off the pebble bank going back out to sea were proper waves with 2-3 foot faces, so when these collided with a wave coming in they were exploding into massive 10-20 foot high curtains of foam and spray... pretty spectacular to watch.

Maybe a surf at the Lifeboat Station is the order of the day.

oh boy,

what a day. went out at high tide and with margi working in tywyn i decided to do a little down winder. big big swell which just got bigger and bigger. the dovey bar was MASSIVE very strange kiting out there all alone the water was super smooth and it was as if the wind and waves went silent. made it to the other side and had some amazing waves at graveyards big big clean waves. kited up to tywyn to see mark out weaving in and out of the groynes.

on its day mid wales has a big wave spot.

pleased to get home in one piece.
