After all the hype of the various on-line websites predicting a massive 10ft plus swell, we experienced something more tame today. The cribber did break, but not as big as would have been liked. There were a few surfers getting towed into it, and a couple of surfers trying to paddle into it, but the strength of the cross-offshore wind was too strong for those without the tow rope. A few 8-10ft sets came through.

There were lots of surfers on South Fistral where it was sheltered from the wind, and some nice 4-6ft sets coming through and some good lefts peeling off.

The past week has definitely been the best for a good many months, with good winds and decent ground swell for the North Coast of Cornwall… long may it continue.
