Rainfall Radar

Had a quick squiz at the rainfall radar before I pack the car with all the camping stuff, and there's a thin blue film over the whole route from the Hoax Coast to the south-east where I'm supposed to be headed. The rest of the state looks dry! Is this a sign not to go?

No more web-surfing this week; I'm heading off down the coast tomorrow for some real waves, and some very cold water surfing. Got the 4/3 steamer, booties and wetsuit hat all ready to go; hopefully I wont need it all, but if its gets windy... Haven't surfed much at all over the last six weeks so am keen to have four or five good sessions over the next few days, build a bit of fitness, get amped for the warmer months ahead...

The best one I've found yet; what a cool name, empty peak.com! who'd a thunk it? Too many ads maybe but you get the feel that this guy surfs a lot and thinks about it a lot.

Which got me thinking; are there many other web surfing logs out there; in this one a guy describes surfing in the moonlight. I do remember one classic full moon surf at First Reef many years ago, but havent tried it for a while! This one sees the zen in surfing:

Hey! Someone else is out there writing a surfing weblog: did I really think mine was the only one? This one's got some good pics of the pro contest near Trestles, California, this week.

Got wet at last, and tossed around like a cork in a fast little right-hander that was bigger than it looked, with more water moving around than it looked. Got a couple of unsatisfying ones, got a few more on the head, and handed in. Next week, I might head down to the Prom for some more fun ways back into it.

September holidays, twenty-six degrees tomorrow, water temperature rising, could be time to get wet again after a long break from any waves.
