As everyone knows, England, despite having an average summer, never does very well for surfing conditions in summer.
Or as we thought.
For the second year in a row, we’re going to get some of the potentially largest and best swell ever seen in the summer months on the east coast.
Ive just returned from the water having decided i should get the board out and get the arms ready for the rest of the week. It was huge – overhead and barreling all down the beach. You just don’t get waves like that on the East coast of England.
So, the rest of the week is supposed to get bigger and bigger… the charts look like this –

Remember today was at least 5-6 foot.
And with the radar looking like this…

Im pretty sure we will have decent overhead surf for the next week… with a ten second period. That means getting the jetski’s out and towing-in with the sun shinning, and seeing all those secret reef’s lighting-up.
We’ve had some truly stunning weather and conditions in the last week, mirrored by the truly frightful one this morning.. (thick, thick sea-fog – really nasty.)
This good weather and flat sea’s inspired a few toys to come out.
I was inspired by the excellent weather just before the weekend, and went out and shot some footage with the intention of making a nice little video edit of the area.
