The last 5 days I've surfed overhead offshore conditions in glorious sunshine - February doesn't get much better than this. It's been a bit tricky timing wise to get a good surf due to the massive 10m tides but it's been well worth it. Part of me feels guilty for not getting the camera out but I think sometimes you just have to enjoy it with your own eyes - well that's the excuse I used to make myself feel better. As I came out of the back of a wave while paddling out last night I was surrounded by gold rain and a pink sunset. The offshore wind lifted spray off the top of the wave which as it fell around me was catching light off the setting sun. So beautiful - those are the moments I surf for.
It really has been lovely and warm too with temperatures reaching 17 degrees (average is around 8-10 for this time of year). This morning and over the weekend the papers were full of articles on the unseasonably warm weather and which flowers are out early and which birds have arrived early.
So I'm feeling a little split in 2 at the moment I'm enjoying the unseasonably warm weather yet there's the other half of me that's worried about the other effects which come with a changing climate.
