Yay! The surf's arrived.

Finally after three weeks of little to no surf we've got a solid swell that looks set to continue for the next week. Water's warming up slowly too and I've taken off my gloves but it's only just warm enough to surf without them. The hoods gone too which is a big relief especially as I got sunburnt yesterday which would have made for very stupid looking tan lines had I been wearing it!

I've been making full use of the last 3 days of surf and as a result am feeling sore and tired and have done very little work but now I've got the desperation out of my system I'm going to have to knuckle down, not the easiest thing to do when you can see the surf's pumping on the webcam.

Helen and I went up to Llangennith yesterday to interview Pete Jones who runs the surf shop and surfline surf report for the area. He talked to us about the changes he's seen in his 40 years of surfing Gower. We then headed to Langland for a surf in the sunshine. His interview should be online next week sometime.

Next weekend is the Welsh Nationals in Pembrokshire so I'm heading down with some of the other girls to give it a go and looks like the swell's going to stick round too. Should be a good weekend.

See you in the water.
