A near classic North sea swell hit this morning and thankfully the forecasted snow didn't arrive to make getting to the beach a hassle. The air temp was around zero degrees and the beach sand first thing, was frozen, but the sun was out, it was offshore and a long period 4-5ft swell was pumping. The waves were super clean, they held up for ever and formed long peeling, fairly punchy and some barreling waves. As the tide flooded though the lateral rip became stronger and paddling out of the impact zone was tricky and the drift in the line up was rapid. Lets hope for lots more days like this in 2008!
