Surfaddict - i won be in the water till end of feb cos its cold n i cant afford winter gear but yeah,living 2mins from some wkd surf is pretty cool.

Yup, come the end of february the water is staggeringly cold - instant ice cream headache when you go under

The water temp only really gets going in an upwards direction in May (but its tolerable as long as the air temp is high by april). The water temp is always a month or two behind the air temp. Thats why surfing in september is so great in the UK - the first autumn swells but lovely warm (well, warm ish) water!
