A final check on weather conditions, and with the Cromer surf report on AI Surf and the decision to head over to Sandilands was taken. Suz came along for the ride, though with it being low tide by the time we'd arrive, we weren't expecting too much. Rightly too as it proved. There was little or no wind and so the sea was glassy, however there was only a small wave. Seemed best to wait a while to see if it picked up before going in, though there were a couple out at the time.

Gave it about half an hour before returning to the car for the board and to get suited up. As I did, then the two who were out actually came in for refreshment..just as it seemed to pick up a little. Just as I got in. True, it was nothing special, but I was pleased to snag a couple of quickies just to get the 'feel' once again. [I don't think there's a better feeling...well maybe one or two!]

The others returned back in to the water and it seemed to drop off again. Time for another drink you two methoughts. As it happened, with the cloud cover and the drizzle/rain, the sea remained glassy and there was the odd wave or so to have, and rather nicely I was picking them off at will. Then the weather changed. The sun came out, the breeze picked up and went onshore...time to get out I reckoned and save energy for possibly another trek over tomorrow.
