bet you it's longer for me! Pinning hopes on wind dropping off early one morning this week (hopefully Wednseday). It will be shite windswell, but better than nowt.

Flat spells suck, fingers are crossed for you East Coasters...  There's some swell about here at the moment but it is the height of silly season 

[granticus]

 Look out east coasters 28 second swell period coming your way!!    

[SA Chris]

Yeah right. I'm glad I didn't hold my breath

[chummer]

AGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGGHHHGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! 

[SA Chris]

?

September Sessions as absent in N Wales as they are on the East Coast?

[chummer]

Yep. I feel your pain.
I"m starting to pine for waves, after a pretty good summer over here for swell the September swells have alluded us just as they did last year. Same pattern for you folks?
 

[SA Chris]

Similar; we had a shit summer followed by a shit autumn. I suspect a shit winter will swiftly follow.

Still, first dusting of snow on 'gorms......

[Probes]

    

I too thought something decent might happen this weekend. Just seen the westcoastsurf update on facebook.. the nadine swell arriving on the llyn. Knee high at best. Boo.

[chummer]

Shit summer and a shit Autumn, gutting. 

Defo worth watching for this Saturday mind, in my experience always be wary of Westcoast's knee high reports, on many occasion I have gone down to the Mouth with some of my own knowledge and a shit load of hope and scored peeling waist-chest high on me tod.

Similarly I have gone down on a 'knee high' and there's been nount...did this on Tuesday this week out of shear desperation and the need to deal with post festival serotonin depletion but fortunately for the natural yoghurt weaver in me there was an isolated apocalyptic storm hammering down on Bardsey with what looked very much like a water spout coming down (lasted for about 10mins), awesome to watch, but a ride along a lovely wave face it was not!

[chummer]

Shit shit shit shit shit, it's only gone and fucking arrived! Aghhhhhh, I'm in work, must get out of work.......agghhhhh shiiiiiiiiiiit!

Westcoast's FB page for piccy..

Well Nadine did indeed put out, albeit only waist, but clean waves in the sunshine were a satisfying snack for the rat and worth getting the afternoon off work..one good wave is all it takes eh?! Hope you boys got something. Potential for more with a storm system moving our way...hopefully.

[gme]

I have not been in the water for 5 weeks now. Worst summer and early autumn I can remember. Following a shocking winter.
I have actually been out bouldering more times than in the sea. 
Charts for the next 10 days look shite too. One well known secret spot will work on Tuesday hopefully.
Best check my jabs are up to date.

[SA Chris]

Yeah I'm holding out moderate hope for a sheltered sesion on Tuesday. Only moderate hope though.

[gme]

Guess there is a lot more money in surfing than climbing.



Get sent to indo on a luxury boat trip for free for 10 days, film all the waves, get the public to vote on it and win $50k.
Guess it must have cost Kustom $250k minimum for one wave. I cant see the climbing companies doing similar.

Sick air though, JJF is freakishly good.

[SA Chris]

Did you find anywhere sheltered? Churning mess everywhere here this morning.

[gme]

Only one spot working and its way south of me. Was going to head there on my way to Sheffield but roads blocked so stuck at home.
Just storm surf here.

[SA Chris]

Hopefully wind drops before waves do.

[lagerstarfish]

admittedly "there's this Irish woman who goes surfing in Iran" sounds like the intro to a bad Jim Davidson joke, but I liked this story

Looks like Lleyn will be lighting up for the next 36 hours or so. Unfortunately I'm not allowed more than an hour from Sheffield currently. #preggerswife

[SA Chris]

Headstress! I would be catching up on sleep!

[Adam Lincoln]

Unfortunately I'm not allowed more than an hour from Sheffield currently. #preggerswife

Congrats btw!  I hadn't heard.

[chummer]

And it did Adam! Then it went off at certain spots last week....And then it did something pretty special on Sunday and yesterday...clean, slightly off shore and powerful long period... Overhead/head on Sunday, shoulder/chest yesterday...me shoulders and back are fucked, I've chafed me ball sack and arm pits and I can't wipe the smile off me face everytime I think about it. Some of my best rides of the year/ ever!   

Saw the South looking incredible ont web..just what was needed after the September shitness and more on it's way. Sincerely hope everyone got some and gets even more... 

[chummer]

and almost as importantly..... Congratulations Adam!

[SA Chris]

Sincerely hope everyone got some and gets even more... 

Currently sacrificing seagull like mad in a hope that the current forecast for Friday and the weekend is correct.

Looks like the SW is getting some good stuff, and glad you are scoring too.
