Observations for a Dissertation...

Beach state observation site #6 (small but would've been fun on the singlefin)

West of Site #3 (Strong onshores but still worth a go)

Access problems

Left the parents round 6 to catch low tide and make some beach state field observations for my dissertation. 250 miles of driving, 8 sites observed and 100 odd photos. Resisted the temptation to bring a couple of boards despite last weeks anti-climax (Only got out one day after an anticipated and hyped "week of surf") and ended up doing some mind surfing instead. Remember the North West Surf Clubs Spring Classic this weekend in Ballyhiernan. Looks like a bit of a wild forecast but I'm always told they're great events!

Yesterday...

Off the rails

Down the garden path

Taken by the tide

Kinda missed the peak on this one

Another right to race

Another few shots from yesterday. Got to car back today and hoped to head round the coast for a surf but got stuck behind the desk again. Bad craic. Just makes yesterdays waves look even sweeter...

ps. Check out Shaka and Singlefins December Blues vid and Picaresque Trailer. Put a smile on my face!

Fairweather Surfer...

The view from my desk.

.

Been spending way too much time here lately. Had stick some shots on the wall to make up for my lack of view and inspiration. Kinda have myself to blame too. There were definately waves yesterday and whilst they were far from picture perfect I elected to return to my desk. I guess theres a season for everything. And right now thats getting the head down to some work...
