desprate for a surf

[Phil]

man how long can this blown out lumpy mess of a swell stay its been like this for weeks and set to be bad for the rest of the week as well, if only those winds would just drop or go light offshore what i would do now for a nice clean 3-4ft wave

[Hazy_daze]

Yeah I know, it seems to have been here for ages. I was gonna risk going in at Woolacombe today, but realised there was actually zero point in doing so.
Should improve soon though, if only the trusty old SJ wasnt going on holiday!!
Looks like im gonna have to get interpretting some wave-charts instead of letting people do it for me.

'lol' ...i too am waiting and watching and checking as many reports in a day as a man can ... 'surfshack' linked cam has been my main 'green light or red' !! .
fingers crosesed guys ...we got a good bit of pressure coming in after this weekend ...so hopefully i'll catch ya out in the froth in devon next week

" its like staring at your presents under the tree' when your a kid ...you know one of those boxes has got that one 'main prezzie yer after ' but you gotta wade through a whole lot of crap before ya get it

lol' ...this week i have scraped my board clean like five times and re~waxed ...jus to go through the motions of a day out

[Phil]

lol you know your desprate when your checking all the web cams every 5 mins hoping for a change in conditions

ive been watching surd dvds but thats even worse the more i watch the more i want to go surfing lol

[Phil]

HOWEVER... the following week (Monday 27th onwards) is looking great with high pressure moving back over the UK producing what is currently looking like light and offshore Easterly winds, and the charts are showing a lonmg-period W-SW swell pushing through making for good surf on both coasts hopefully!!!'

heres some hope shame its a week away

im going surfing sat i dont care if its blown out or flat im sure ill find some where even if it just means geting wet

[CheeZee]

ahhh , that looks like a snippet from SJ's surf report? ...yeh my man , im clinging to that bit of info like a life raft

yep and same as you , me and the pieman had to go down last Friday ..big and blown out or not , had to get in the water ... we had a great day all the same ,, that was the afternoon i was playing with the fish'ees

" mornin all "

well its another choppy old day ..just had a look at a couple of cams ... " and i dont know how to spell 'the sound of blowing a raspberry' but thats the general picture again huh?!

Yeh my man .. keep looking at the magazines thinking , do these guys know how lucky there are to live in a country with such 'rare' conditions to ours !, ... " i bet they dont ever hear .. " are you really going in that "? or ... " is the sewage on or offshore today "

take it eeZee chilee' ... give ya a holla when next go down , see if your in the water same day , hook up and have a brew while we're all waiting for our toes to defrost

[Phil]

hoping that swell arives next week ive only got college for 2 days so ill be around north devon most of that week i hope

:D

[CheeZee]

... yep sucky piccys coming thru the web cams !

lol' .. i've got a dirty finger print on me monitor from tapping the screen and muttering " no, no ...no !!

Theres a comp on this weekend as well i think , really hope it pulls itself together just a little , so the day isnt a washout for all those that travel a lot further than me to the water

but fingers crossed for next week .... " oh god of ye swell be mercyfull on the dedicated winter nutters " , and im still gonna wear my shortie ... i refuse to beleive that winter is coming ... i laugh in the face of blue toes and no feeling from the groin down

[Hazy_daze]

" take it eeZee chilee' ... give ya a holla when next go down , see if your in the water same day , hook up and have a brew while we're all waiting for our toes to defrost

Aaaw, the lovely winter sesh's, uncrowded...epic...but freezing and covered in 5mm rubber.
Like to see the hardcore 'surfers' out in the depths of winter sometime, its all very well surfing our summer waters, but are they amongst the ice-caps in the winter eh!?
Yeah sounds good, ill have to take you up on the brew offer me thinks, the frozen toes memory is becoming all to clear now the water is on the down But dudes, we cant complain. How many hurricane swells were we blessed with this summer?! Roll on next summer

[CheeZee]

" amen " to all of that my man

'lol' .. ahh thicker suits that lift , support and push all my small but growing belly into one defined spot just like a wonderbra ... ahh how the gurls do swoon LOL'

[Phil]

im heading into exeter to get a winter suit tommorow, no way im surfing in a 5m scubapro wetsuit agian this winter

the waters still warm though its just the wind chill thats gets you when your sat on the board

this summer hasnt been that bad at all, i did miss alot of the swell becuse i was in dorset but im glad i got in for alex

[CheeZee]

...your right , the waters not too bad still its only my feet that sufer cause they get exposed to the air .

lol' .." hardcore last week in Saunton ...we stayed in the water 3hrs solid and saw most people come and go , by the time we got out it was dark and my feet were completely numb , my bro' had to near carry me back to the car ! ..." not the coolest exit from the beach ...but i sure as hell knew that i had given it my all that evening .
And those lovely girls in that lil' posh upstairs cafe / restaurant on the beach front there , made us a wicked hot choccy

...wonder if that place stays open all winter ?
