The gut feeling was that conditions yesterday may be more favourable than those on Sunday. Cromer was showing 2' and clean in the morning and, after speaking with Naips, decided to head to Sandilands again after LT [3.30ish].

I arrived first and found a pleasant looking clean waist high wave that was more encouraging than that for the day before. [I've put up a small display of 3 pix of that scene on the index page. the first surf photos using the new FujiFilm digi camera. Am aiming to make this a regular feature of any surf sessions.] I decided just to give it a few minutes before getting changed, by which time Naips turned up.

Within minutes we were in, and for the first half hour it remained great fun with waves being exchanged with ease. Thereafter, rides became a little more difficult to pick off when the breeze picked up and moved more southerly. The effect was almost immediate with the sea turning annoyingly choppy; something that always takes the edge off things. We stayed in for another hour or so before calling it a day and opting to return home to watch England beat Croatia 4-2 in the footie.
