Exmouth Waves

Tuesday 26th

Went out at dead low tide. Nice, head waves that kept getting better. After a shaky start the wind got better too.

Exmouth seems to generate good, clean waves even when it's onshore. I guess it's when a good sized swell hits the outer sand bars.

However it does it, you get pretty hollow sections to hit. And, of course those sections make great ramps for big jumps!

Quick nip up the M5

Yesterday had a quick trip to Burnham-on-sea, for the northwesterly.

Plenty of wind for my twinfin and a fun little wave wrapping around the island. Did feel a little chilly on the hands and head for the first time this autumn.

Nice jumping ramps as well.

Forecast for the weekend changes everyday. Monday - wind. Tuesday - no wind. Today - yes wind. So who knows. Not the forecasters anyway!

Big ..... Bigbury

Saturday 9th October

Big wave carnage - broken gear and long swims.

I played things pretty safe and managed to avoid any mishaps. Did pick off a few monsters though - no mean feat, it was pretty offshore at the peak and the swells fast moving.
I used my floaty Quad just to be able to catch waves whilst heading up wind.
