After another hammering in the tent all night, The view out over Croyde bay was a nice sight to wake to.Huge Swells white caps, froth,& huge wind.
Driving round towards Saunton the Swells/waves/rolling swells were coming in from the point all the way to the beach, the normally looking big bay now looked small with the amount waves etc filling the whole bay all the way over to Westward Ho! A very spectacular sight.
At the ho! it was near high tide, i opted for 3.8m, 1 other turned up,he said the locals had sailed early & now gone.
There was a lot water moving about with some crazy seas, i ventured out a bit but the other local guy hugged the shore so i didnt go out to far with mast high white water about it was a bit scary at times, but certainly got the adrenaline pumping.Jumps were sometimes huge sideways floating thingys,:) with off the lips back up the beach.Just sailing over the waves turned into long floaty jumps requiring commitment not to wipe out. Down towards the river mouth it was alot less scary with large gaps between the waves, fully powered on 3.8m & little board this was great sailing.
The best.....
