While I was away – Monsoon

Sorry, I know I promised to keep you updated yesterday but it’s the week of the Surfilm Festibal and I’m still catching up work after the week away. But anyway, better late than never, here are the photos of what happened in the Bay while I was in Italy (last week) and in Barcelona visiting the family (last weekend). I’ve only picked up a couple of photos per day if that:

Monday: This is how the water was after the big rains of the weekend in Bilbao. Putosurf.

Tuesday: Almost flat but nice in Salinas. Clau.

Wednesday: Very small and crammed with bodyboarders outside the bay. Dani.

Thursday: Nice swell pretty much everywhere.
Salinas. Clau.

Sopelana. Surf30.

Zarautz. Artbrutmag.

Home. Kukurusta.

Friday: Crap at home...

...but epic somewhere outside the bay. Fiz_Bertels.

Saturday: Little local contests at La Espasa (Asturias) by Cezonillo.

While it was crap at home again.

Sunday: We currently have a full N situation into the armpit of the Bay. So that means on-shore winds, weak swells and plenty of rain at Home while the further West you go, you get less wind, less rain, cleaner swells and higher temperatures. As seen in this photo from outside the bay by Dani.


And yesterday, Monday, there were some nice waves in Salinas again. Stylemaster Chuck by Clau...

...while it was, once again, almost flat, on-shore and pissing here at home. I’ts been like this for a while now, and the forecast doesn’t look very exciting. Popular belief is that we are in for another fresher and wetter summer than usual.

Last minute: Today outside the bay, by Dani.

And that’s it. To top it off, here you have the flyer from the photo exhibition at the Soul shop in downtown San Sebastian. Shame on me... I haven’t checked it out yet, but I’ve been told that the opening (last Saturday) was quite a success.

Reading: Finished Drift. Not bad but the editorial content was a bit… drifty?

Books: Maxnemo, a blooger from Oeste has just released a self-edited photobook on Galicia (NW of Spain) that looks very cool. Check some pages here and buy it here.

Another fun (I hope) little story re. the Surfilm Festibal here.

Over & out.
