Surfing Waves

Am thinking of going Rosheniga on sunday 4 a bit of mini mal surfing, its proberly the nearest break to my house, any one got any tips about the place / any knolage when it works etc.

any advise would be appreciated

keiths ur man for that(or papa if he fesses up ) i dont think its looks so good for sunday..if that changes ill be there

Barly be anything there mate I wouldn't bother.

Best bet is 1st thing Sat morning with the pushing tide in the town bay itself. will be a bit cleaner there.

Don't bother this weekend - it's either too small (Sunday) or too short period and too windy (Saturday) - towan might be sheltered, but the wind is strong enough for the place to be rammed with windsurfers.......

It's my 'local' break too (100 bloody miles away, but hey.....) and I go as often as I can (shift work, so I can go midweek).

There's a few decent spots that I tend to stick to - only thing is, when it's on, there's a 'crowd' there who aren't exactly up on the whole etiquette thing and can ruin an otherwise good session!

Anyway - let me know when you go, as it'd be nice to go as a group .......

to be fair keith..ive been a few times since you helped me out.ive found the locals really helpfull,one paddles out behind me (to help) and one in front(to show me the way) joking aside..not had a real problem,im not that good so i stay away a bit.tbh i find it so funny that the locals all look like extras from monty python..........

LOL - 'staying away' from them is difficult, as they do love to come and keep you company.....

Flappy Paddle bloke is funny (as long as he's dropping in on other people) but Catweasel is really annoying with his snaking!!

Abbrefraw (despite the long walk) is getting seriously appealing just to have the break free from those lot!!

I mite go sunday even if its just for a swim / padle! if i dont ill end up going to the pub and i dont realy want to do that coz i hate hjang overs in work (got one now only just got in how cum my boss doesnt sake me so i can go traverling the world!!!)

Whats every onethink?

Magic sea weed is giving H/M 3/ 4 foot I've normal found it to be a foot biger than what it says, its giving 1 foot for anglesy, 2 3 foot waves would do me for an easy mini mal session

went on a bit of a safari today barmouth to hells mouth and everything in between...found some real intersting places..........most where blown out tho..

we eneded up at whistling sands......2ft and relatively clean......an hour on my new board i was realy gettin into it...and then some really selfish bloke went and impaled his leg on his fin and snapped his thigh bone there was only a hand full if that surfing and we all went to lend a had.....some serious blood pumping out of his wetsuit....in the end we had an abulance,hm coast guard and a helicopter.

hope your ok mark

Chrsit... at sands on a 2ft day.... how unfortunate!

O deer how did he manage to do that?

no idea,he was in no fit state to elaborate.....

hows it looking for this sunday 12ft 10secs! is that enougth for rosheniga, the wind looks a bit strong any sheltered spots for me to find?

im not thinking thats looking good,be a hell of a sheltered spot! think i might go skating instead ive got a few man size boards for sale if ur intrested

thats what she said

Sunday could work as it's predominently cross shore - but I guess being weekend it will be full.........

I quite fancy the long walk to Abber - if anyone else would be interested??

It's 15 minutes trek from the closest car park to the beach - and no way of knowing what the waves will be doing until you're almost at the water's edge - but it won't have the drop-in brigade there........... And given the prevailing wind direction, it 'could' be sheltered.........
