Massive surfer here, spend every moment I can in. Be cool to chat to anyone who also surfs.

Also the naked picture in the surfboard is cool

I'm an awful surfer, struggling to find time to get out and improve.

Still one if the greatest feelings when you catch a beauty (by your standards) though.

You all keen for a group surf then! Last swell today really for a week by the reports. Gives time to organise one when the charts are looking better.

Depending on swell size I don’t think it will effect it much tragicsea is often wrong. On the push and drop and high will be sheltered enough for a decent wave.

Sounds like a Coney kind of day. Can't beat an ice cream and go on the dodgems afterwards too

My local is low tide only unfortunately.

True. I even enjoy the falling. And if I was a really decent surfer I'd be constantly pissed off at the waves around here

So it says 2ft at 5 seconds. A period of 5 seconds is going to be very close together and at a small size can be difficult to find a good peak. That’s all. Okay for learning on and should be a little wave but ye close together messy small swell that would be

Cheers, thought it was a Coney specific thing. To be honest 2-3ft is spot on for my abilities

Struggle getting out when the period is too close though.

Wind is offshore today and perfect but the swell is only 2-3ft most and tide is dropping maybe w foamy would be fun.

Although good news swell picks up tomorrow wind wrong but some secret spots will pump!

Wednesday looks a dream!

How did you get on?

We've only been bodyboarding a month. We started in Newquay and found a total different culture here. People just don't seem to be looking before jumping on a wave you have people trying to crash into or stepping in front of you.

In Newquay people were much better organised.

The waves were so much more fun as well! Fingers crossed we can get back down in October. If we arent all on lock down!

Yes a lot of beginners and locals dropping in on you at rest bay.

But plenty of waves to share x
