Weekend in London was fine, thank you. Saw two surfers in Gatwick escaping from London, board in hand, on Sunday. Not one of them flew to Bilbao with us. Back at home Friday was unsurfable, Saturday kind of biggish and windy from the W and Sunday more manageable but with very strong offshores (S) with a late change to NW.
Managed to get two surfs: Monday late afternoon (2-3' and semi onshore) and Tuesday (today - 1' glassy, with perfect see through crystal clear water) before work. Not the best of conditions, but still fun. Spring is time for windswells and semi strong N-NE winds. And so far for a lot of rain.
I’m having a meeting tomorrow with the organizers of the Surfilm Festibal to talk about the blogs (Spanish & English). Look forward to this new project. The new 3sesenta magazine, oldest Spanish surfing magazine, has arrived (see the cover on the right hand side column, #127). It's the Big Waves special issue (and the biggest issue so far). I'm very happy with the lay out they've done of my writing. Looks cool. It's the last piece i've written for them so far, as i'm taking a couple of issues off to focus on other projects, but i'll be back.
Forecast: Wednesday flat as a pond…cake, Thursday and Friday big from the West with on-shores, classic Saturday (on the big side) and Sunday (smaller).
Here’s a mix of the pictures of what I’ve found on the net (and a couple from yours truly) from these past days.

Saturday morning. Photo from near A Coruña by Fiz_Bertels. Yes, outside the Bay.
Two great photos from Sunday morning in Zarautz (20kms from home, deep inside the Bay). Pacotwo is a freelance photographer who works a lot with Surfer Rule, the other Spanish mag.
Monday morning, in Pantin (site of a WQS contest every September), around the W corner of the Bay. Photo by Dani.
Yesterday's (Monday) sunset at home. Taken by my wife while i was getting changed.
This morning at home. The sun wasn't totally out yet, and it was freezing (6ºC in the parking). As it was low tide, we were surfing over to the left side of the beach. The longboarder of the photo kept getting the best waves until he left. That is NOT a set.
Over & out.
