This is what we woke up to on Saturday morning BIG old pulse of swell, was gone and much more friendly by the evening though. (A friend got absolutely munched trying to duck dive one of these big sets), Sunday was super fun, nothing left today. How'd it go JH? Awesome Granticus. Trouble is, it was WAYYYYY too big for me on Saturday, so I went to the dark side. Took out the body board and fins and had great fun. Back on the mini mal on sunday, caught a few, got dumped by a few. Woolacombe had some excellent peaks, I'm just not good enough to be in the right place at the right time! Sitting in the cafe on tuesday morning looking at a millpond out there - hey ho

Head to the Quantocks!Sponging might be seen as a backward step, but at least you got some time in with bigger surf - anything you learn regarding reading and catching bigger waves is good time spent IMO.
Agree with everything you say about sponging
Agree with everything you say about NSFW sponging

Love the biking in the Quantocks but too knackered after the weekend to do it justice! Next time. Agree with everything you say about sponging, (hey, new word!) trying to read the waves better. Thinking of opting for a longer board next time in the hope I can catch waves earlier and stand more chance of staying in green water...
anyone of the east coast massive had any luck over the last couple of days?
