Surfing Waves

it doesn't look good does it?

Rubbish. Pretty much everywhere.

A weak swell in the south west, but mucked up by strong north easterly winds

worth 5 hours travel?

oh while I am picking your brains, (you really should start charging for this service). Do you think we are likely to see another big south coast swell before the summer? I really want to try out a spot on the south coast.

No.
The van stays at home this weekend.

Big? No.
Surfable? Yes.

We're just about past the time of year when I'd be expecting any sizeable swell for the south coast (the south east coast I should say). But a few feet wouldnt be at all surprising. I'm always on the look out, so I'll post a heads-up in the 'south coast' thread in members meetings forum if its looking likely.

This weekend is a pretty definite no.

and it sucks i was going too go this weekend for the first time in a while

Im still going to Newquay, gotta go surfing !!!!

Might be a small choppy something for saturday in Cornwall.

Still going though, i l can wait for ages for a wave, just need to surf !

I'm a newbie surfer, only started last year and havent surfed since september

I'm heading out to polzeath this weekend and wondered what suit i will need. Will my 3:2 be ok, with a vest and boardies? I have got a 1.5m neoprene vest i can wear underneath too?

Any sugestions anyone?

Might be a bit cold, i always wear my 5-4-3mm suit.

You also might want to get boots and gloves too !

You should be alright with that...how the hell do you get boardies under your suit? What is it? A clown suit? o.O I have to wear boxers the only thing that will fit! Or you follow adrenalines example and go commando!

thanks sboy
fortunatly i have boots but no gloves. hmm, i'll see how i get on.
i've got my own board for the first time too so no foamie!!! wild horses couldnt keep me away! I just may have to get out a bit sooner than usual
