One for Denise and Jay @noo This is one of our colder surf spots, -10°C water temp and the wind chill is just crazy. The local surfers aren't to warm to strangers either..,when it comes to sharing the break....I did surf here as a youngster and after about 20 mins in the water you weren't able to feel your feet any-more.
Aha! That water temp sounds scary. The water here has cooled dramatically in the last few weeks, its now about 13 deg c, and J sick of his 'holey' wetsuit flushing the cold water through, has just ordered a new custom one. This looks like a pretty good break though. Only for the toughest I suspect. Wind Chill is a scary prospect too. The cold water here in Port Fairy on my feet can make me feel nauseous I would be in strife at this break. How do they not get hypothermia..........
If I didn't know you were in SA, and you're heading toward winter, I would think I was looking at a beautiful summer beach scene. I was at the beach yesterday enjoying 85 degree temps - just a bit too humid, though!
