It’s a bright and cheery morning this morning, colder again, almost frosty but not quite.
The breeze is light and offshore so far although it is likely to swing south westerly through the morning.
So right now the surf is pumping, four feet of curling and bending peaks are grinding into the bays under a mainly blue sky with a light offshore breeze. That is going to change sooner rather than later so you’d better get a wriggle on if you want to catch it!

So, we have been having some great fun this last couple of weeks with our weekend POP-UP SALES and we don’t want it to finish! But equally we cannot afford to keep giving suits out at the prices that we have been.
So imagine our delight when we unpacked another couple of boxes of winter wetsuits and decided that nobody is going to really want to buy them now until next year – unless we offer them out at fantastic discount prices!
So, with the winter half-term school holidays upon us, we have decide to have a SCHOOLS OUT – CLEAR OUT!!
And it’s O’Neill and Xcel’s turn to be offered at HALF – PRICE! We have Xcel Infiniti X2s at HALF-PRICE as well as a range of O’Neill winter wetsuits at HALF-PRICE!!
From Saturday 13th FEB to Sunday 21st FEB, 10.30 to 4pm daily. And all our other WINTER WETSUITS (Patagonia, Vissla, Xcel and O’Neill) will also be on SALE at a mighty 30% OFF with loads of other offers throughout the shop (30% OFF Patagonia clothing plus 20% OFF most other stuff!).
Once again this offer is only open to callers to the shop!
The whole point is to get everyone back into that surfy rapping kind of buzz feeling that the internet sometimes doesn’t quite get!! And with the surf looking promisingly pleasant this weekend, it could just be worth your while dropping in on us agin for another SUPER WETSUIT BARGAIN!

A foot or two of oilled glass waves are spilling ashore here this morning, the tide a couple of hours on the rise, the breeze gentle and offshore.
The wind is going to slip to the south west through the morning but that shouldn’t affect the conditions here, it should stay offshore all day.
So, there should be some snappy little hollow ones spinning in here all day long!

Surf Forecast for Wednesday 17th February 2016

The wind is switching to the north west again today, that cold and onshore direction that does nothing for the surf anywhere on this coast.
The surf is likely to be bigger with that low pressure way out there sending some thick waves our way but that wind is going to chop it all up and make it messy.
It’s another far coast day today. And that has been on a roll lately with majestic waves swooping in at most of our favourite surf breaks down there for the last week or so!

Surf Conditions for the Start of the Week

Those smooth conditions of the weekend, that solid rolling swell and those offshore winds should see us into the start of the week, the swell only gradually dropping in size but still staying strong, now more in the three to four feet range.
But, as always, that wind is inevitably going to slide onshore as the week goes on.
we are likely to be surfing Harlyn again by Tuesday on a south westerly windblown four foot swell, the wind going north westerly by midweek, driving us over to the far coast in search of cleaner conditions.
And that’s probably going to be the way of it for the rest of this school half-term week!
Have a great week, wherever you are and whatever you’re doing!
