Speculation during the week was of a small, clean swell for the weekend...which duly arrived. OK it was barely big enough to be taken seriously, but I've just had a fun couple of hours or so at Huttoft with the usual suspects. [Naips, Russ et al] The saving factor was that todays tide leading up to the 16.09 HT, was fairly small so what waves there were wouldn't be totally flattened off as the tide pushed in.

Was misty on arrival around 2pm, with not a breath of wind and water temps' now around 9 deg C. The others were just going in and it wasn't long before I'd joined them. Moving the fin forward for extra speed rather than turning power proved a good call, as I found getting into the waves that bit easier after my last fruitless session here. Caught plenty too in the two and a half hours I was in, even if the number of waves showing dropped as the session went on. Nothing of real note ride wise, although these were my first East Coast waves since the end of February!! One 'First' to note was my getting out with the moon casting it's beams across the sea. Weird or what?
