I just had a quick look at what’s been cooking in the Bay during my absence: poor souls, except for Tuesday and Wednesday… not a ripple!! On Sunday they managed to finish the World Longboard contests in Anglet, and on Monday there was an extremely heartfelt farewell ceremony to Peter Viertel in Biarritz. Peter Viertel (a Hollywood screenwriter and husband of Deborah Kerr) died last November in Spain, and was the person who introduced surfing in France 50 years ago (photo courtesy of the Surf-report).
In Salinas, meanwhile, it was almost flat (courtesy of Clau).
Tuesday saw some clean waves in Salinas (courtesy of Clau)...
...& Xagó (courtesy of Hindi)...
...while I’ve been told it was epic up in the Landes. The forecast had announced the arrival of a high period small to medium west swell and no winds, and so it was. Can’t find any photos though… There were some waves left on Wednesday in Sopelana (photo courtesy of Surf30) and that is about it.
This is what we had this morning at home.
All in all we chose the right week to leave the Bay, as we got much more surf than we would have had at home. The problem is the forecast is nearly as bad for this next week.
Over & out.
