A little wave

There's a knee-high something and the tide is pushing. Weather is fair.
Wind is S, but seems to be going onshore later...

Low    05.40     2.5 m

Low    18.06     2.9 m

Sunny, beautiful, blustery

It is really nice out there, but the surf has suffered a bit....
It's weak knee-high slop with sun rays on it! SW winds,
Puts has some shelter....

Go and get it before every man and their dog is on it....Oh,they're already!

Sunny and some small surf

Good morning! The weekend is pretty much here, yay! The surf is still rideable, a bit small, a bit weak, and a light SW wind on it,but definitely worth hopping in with your log! Perfect your cross-stepping, cheater-fiving, that sort of thing!!!

Still very full tides...

Low    15.21     0.8 m

Waves

There's surf, about waist-high and a little bit wobbly.
Worth a go-go though. Medium SW winds. Go on, jump in.

High    08.37   9.6 m
Low    14.40   0.5 m
High    20.59  9.8 m

Not flat anymore!

Surf is about knee- to bum-high...It's like reaching the oasis after 4 weeks in the desert, drinking lizard blood and eating sand flies! So get your arses out of bed and hop in!!! Blue skies and warm, a lightish SSW wind on it....

High   07.52      9.6 m
Low   13.56      0.5 m

Little lines

There are some small lines rolling in. Nothing big, maybe knee-high and the sun is trying to break through, too! Let's go and play...

Devon is trés jolie!

Well, I know I have disappeared from the radar a bit as I was in France, getting barrelled off my tits. Not. It was, as you might have guessed, totally flat and very hot.
Now I am back, got the good old Wifi and have this to say:
Stunningly beautiful here, hot, a bit of S wind blowing and very flat.
But, hey, we get waves more often than we get heat, so I say let's roll with it!

High  06.12   9.0 m
Low  12.18    0.9 m
High  18.37   9.5 m

Hot everywhere and flat,too!

Well, my Devon sources reveal it is beautiful over there! And very flat!!!
Here in the land of morning coffee, baguettes and naked breasts on the beach it is flat, too.
But do we complain? Hell no! We cherish it, we bathe in it, we lap up the sweat and celebrate the lobster redness of our skins!
Me and Stoked Californian - my travel companion for this trip - are slowly recovering from long long hours on motorways in a 40 degree tin can.
Well, he actually slept well as my pics prove...

Turns out American stokedness and fashion are infectious and I am beginning to look more and more like a total goon.

Well, on this note I wave thee good-bye. And your tides for today in North Devon are:

High      08.38     8.6 m
Low      14.29      1.4 m
High      20.50     8.7 m

Il fait chaud!

Now you may wonder why I have not been posting at all?It is because I am in the land of Vavavavoom and O-la-la!!France,Man!It's hot,surf is small and the Camembert is of biohazardeous consistency!All is good.Hope Devon is treating you all well!

It's hot, it's sunny, surf's small

Perfect day, logable waves. What more do you want?Clean,beautiful.Do not stay inside!!!

Summer fun
