Clean and chest high sets for the early

      Hello Friends, Not quite as chilly this morning. Dominant swell direction is SE and size at sea is about two metres at 8 to 9 seconds. Wind was WSW at around 10 kts. I’ve run late this morning due to a flat tyre. Always fun, especially when you haven’t got round to […]
