Arrrggghhh.... I've just checked the surf forecast for the weekend - It's been a while since I've seen 5 stars for ANYWHERE on magicseaweed!

AAARRGGGHHH..... i'm skint. I have about £50 to my name and I WANT to surf this weekend... Do you reckon the surf shops in Croyde will be open? And will they rent winter suits?

Little Pink Shop is open at the weekends at the moment. And they rent out winter suits (and boots, gloves, hoods...)

Sunday is looking like it maybe a Lynmouth day :shock:

Saturday may be okay on some of the more sheltered spots. Dont think I'll be at Croyde though! :wink:

problem with lynmouth is everyone will be there and i hate the place when its crowded becuse everyone hassles for waves, if i end up there it will be a dawnie i think

monday is looking good as well depending on the size of the swell might head up the coast a bit and check out some spots that ive had my eye on that might break, given the right conditions

£10 board
£8 winter wetsuit
£9 hood, gloves and booties.

All together £25...

Now all I need is to find a mate who's prepared to drive me all the way to Devon from London... Not easy given none of my mates surf...!

Not yet - girlfriends got the digi camera! :roll:

The weekend saw a big ol' swell, but I dont think it lived up to the magic seaweed five star hype.

There were way overhead sets coming in, but the offshore breeze was very strong so the waves were coming out of nowhere and then jacking up to vertical faces almost instantly and then closing out in a big way :shock:

Anything smaller was coming straight onto the shore as a beach dump :shock:

But I had a reasonable session on Puts on saturday morning, got a couple of huge waves... and then got beaten senseless by the close out

Saturday afternoon got very messy, but there were some nice little sections to be had now and again

The really annoying thing is the pictures look superb. Overhead, nice shape, barrels, offshore, sun is even out... but it all lasts for a split second before coming down on your head! :shock:

Top weekend though - feeling a little sore this morning!
