Wild windy weather

It is finally starting to feel like winter here in Taranaki. Today was sunny but very windy. Three friends and I went for a dip in the sea today - it was a lot colder than last week!

The spray of the white caps shows how windy it is. And there are white caps all the way out to the ship.

You went swimming in this? That's very brave - looks cold and rough. I like the spray leading your eye to the boat...

[Brian]

Awesome capture. You are brave swimming in those cold waters.

So striking -- but not at all what I would find inviting enough for a swim!

@robz Well I didn't go for the dip in this spot. We went to Ngamotu Beach which is protected by a break water. Still very windy, but not anywhere near as rough and wild as it was here at Waiwakaiho. I actually went for another dip today. A gorgeous sunny day and completely different! Still cold though :-)

@briaan Actually the water temperature isn't too bad - 16ºC or 62ºF. Today we stayed in for 15 minutes.

You are brave venturing into the water - I am strictly a 3 season girl!
