Seems a bit crazy to want to spend time in the sea in mid-March but that’s the kind of thing I like to do. A decent surf forecast saw me and THO, accompanied by TBF plan a day in the surf in South Wales.
The weather had been appalling all week but Sunday was bright and sunny if a little windy and cold. Rest Bay is our usual hang out but it was open to the wind and the waves were a bit scary. After a very fine breakfast in our new favourite cafe we headed to the Town beach behind the harbour wall where the waves were more manageable.
Safe to say we didn’t stay in long even though we had some superb long rides in pretty much prefect conditions. The beach was very busy as was the Theme Park and we finished the day off in style with Waffles and Ice Cream on the sea front before the rain returned.
Perfect except for the fact that the water was staggeringly cold.
This was especially noticeable when taking a dunk, water cold enough to make your head ache and feel rather light headed.
Regardless of activity and the pains to achieve it, I always enjoy a spell of outdoor fun and it most definitely clears the head of any lingering post work lassitude.
More surfing planned but maybe when the water is not quite as close to freezing!

Beautiful blue skies. Must have been great to get out.

Always fun to get out in surf. It was bloody cold though, water was unbelievably (or possibly believably ) cold!
