The week that was…. – Featured Blog

20 June 2016 By Port Elizabethan Leave a Comment

Today's posts from our featured Port Elizabeth Blogger: The week that was....: © Robie Irlam Even as we approach mid-winter the spell of kiff weather continues. Plenty windless days (with no swell in the bay) and a few pomping days (with swell - but chowed up by the wind). Thursday and Sunday were the pick of the week. Bit breezy on Thursday, but some waves around before the high tide killed em off a bit in the arvo. ​Sunday saw a combo of great weather and really fun surf. Hopefully all the dad's got let off lunch duty so they could go find some waves! Jbay had waves most of the week © Robbie Irlam © Frank D'Agostino Nice to have a few waves in the bay again. The southerly swell direction on Sunday meant a lot more swell concentrated up towards Rincon and Pipe, as the south swell don't refract as much round Cape Recife and extend deeper into the bay.  Pipe © Mandy Fiebiger Brommer © Deon Bester © Josh Saunders Fiji finally turned on and some awesome waves and surfing for the final few rounds.

Thankfully just a trip to the hospital in a chopper, 250 stitches later and a story to dine out on for years to come. ​#Getbettersoonbru It was the 50th anniversary of Bruce Browne's famous surf movie - The Endless Summer, this week. Essential viewing for every surfer. Sure, the surfing is seriously old school, but it's worth it for the dry humour, and the Bruce's sequence alone. Ou's at the RVCA Store in SF musta had a late night before doing the window painting...... Sunday was Father's Day - which means you give dad every wave he wants. Chaim doing the right thing. © Deon Bester The train at the entrance to King's Beach burnt down late Sunday night. Apparently a fire started in the kitchen and spread uncontrollably. Sad to see a landmark gone. More stunning sunrises and sunsets this week. Winter has a habit … [Read more...]
