At 6.20 a.m: Constantine (3*):  3 feet. A dull, grey sky has moved over us in the last half hour, an air of almost drizzle clinging in the breeze. The three feet of shiny turquoise surf is being buffeted only a little by the onshore, south westerly, breeze, those bigger set waves breaking much further […]

At 6.20 a.m: Constantine (2*):  1 foot. A golden sunburst of a dawn is exploding over the horizon this morning, those grey layers of dreary cloud gradually being streaked by silver light. The southerly breeze is whispering along the coast, quietly rustling the marram while smoothing those small waves that are peaking in the bay. […]

At 6.25 a.m: Constantine (3*):  3 feet. That silver ridged canopy of rolling cloud base seems to be a little thinner this morning, allowing glimpses of ribbon tears of blue and yellow and pink. And that could just mean that it will all brighten up sooner rather than later! In the meantime, three feet and […]

At 6.20 a.m: Constantine (3*):  3 to 5 feet. A damp blanket of cosy mizzle is blocking the view this morning, the air wet in the mild south westerly breeze, the sky a silver canopy of glum. The surf is thumping though, three feet of onshore ruffled but smooth faced lines are pushing onto the […]

At 6.25 a.m: Constantine (2*):  1 foot. A silver sky of calmness is snuggled over us this morning, the air still, the breeze a whisper and the surf really small. Pretty but really small. Ribbons of brightness are scratched across the sky, maybe promising better for later weatherwise while sets of slightly bigger waves topple […]

At 6.20 a.m: Constantine (1*):  1 to 2 feet. A glorious morning is revealing itself slowly this morning, a light, light, californian style marine layer of mist clinging to the grasslands, a pale watercolour hint of la cote du sud reflected from the bay. So the sky is bright, the wind is light and the […]

At 6.15 a.m: Constantine (3*):  3 feet. A brighter and calmer morning is spreading its cheer along the coastline, a light breeze drifting down from the north while ribbons of cloud separate the clear from the greyer. The surf looks fun with three feet or so of smooth and steep little peaks spinning their way […]

At 6.25 a.m: Constantine (2*):  3 feet. That lovely expanse of bright blue sky has been replaced by a covering of silver grey this morning, a light breeze spreading some chillier air down from the north too. But that breeze is light, not strong enough to mess up the three feet or so of still […]

At 6.15 a.m: Constantine (1*):  1 foot. The wind is screeching across the sea this morning, a noisy south easterly blow racing across the headlands and meeting the, so far, tiny little swell lines head-on. There’s more of a winter view this morning as well, the dull grey of a storm filled sky enveloping both […]

At 6.25 a.m: Constantine (3*):  3 to 4 feet. Ah, it’s a drizzly, mizzly, dull and dreary old morning this morning, oddly cosy in it’s mild dankness though. Visibility is low as a marine layer of wet air loiters at high tide, a seamless merging of sky and sea, highlighted by the slashing whiteness of […]
