Today's posts from our featured Port Elizabeth Blogger: The week that was....: © Aiden McKenzie A coupla waves here and there, and mostly awesome days leading up to Christmas Day. The wind did however come to the party the day before Christmas and tried hard to blow it's pip off. Ther predicted swell annoyingly didn;t arrive. A few lines snuck in at Rincon and Pipe but not much making it deeper into the bay. JBay did this.... © Robbie Irlam Whilst PE did this... … [Read more...] about The week that was…. – Featured Blog

Today's posts from our featured Port Elizabeth Blogger: The week that was....: © Karen Anker The season opened with a bang on Friday night. One of the more impressive fireworks displays that we've seen in recent years, combined with absolutely tit weather made it an awesome evening down at the beach. ​Props to the muncipality, as the next day all the beaches and grassed area's were spic-and-span by 08h00. Still some glass lurking around in the dune area's, so do your bit and … [Read more...] about The week that was…. – Featured Blog

Today's posts from our featured Port Elizabeth Blogger: The week that was...: Paul van Rijswijck © Rhynhardt Coetzee Coupla days of waves here and there to get everyone their salt water dose for  the week. Water lekker warm, weather being all summery. What's not to like about Decemeber? (other than the lack of consistent surf!?)Ou's getting a bit rusty cos of the weekly lulls between half decent sessions. Lee Allers was over-frothing on a lil bump that cropped up at Avo's … [Read more...] about The week that was… – Featured Blog

Today's posts from our featured Port Elizabeth Blogger: The week that was....: Another lekker week in the bay. Bogger all surf yet again, but perfect weather to be building sand castles, catching rays and generally chilling out. Some slides to be found if you looked around. As usual, the more you drove, the better the chances of scoring something slightly bigger than knee-high to an ant.

Today's posts from our featured Port Elizabeth Blogger: The week that was....: © Alan Buchanan From feast to famine in the space of a week. After 2 cranking surf weeks summer returned with a bang this week. Lekker sunny weather, crystal blue water....and bogger-all waves. Other than a sneaky Tuesday early morning sesh in 16 sec ground swell before the east came up. © Dirk Erasmus The kiff summer weather meant perfect conditions for the ou's in the Ocean Swim series. … [Read more...] about The week that was…. – Featured Blog

Today's posts from our featured Port Elizabeth Blogger: The week that was....: Yeeeuw, what a week! Waves for days. Flipping good waves. If you didn't get wet, feel sad. Very sad. Cos you missed it. And that sucks!! Remi Peterson © Robbie Irlam Donovan Zoetmulder © Storm Seaman You were spoilt for choice. PE was firing. So was JBay. And so was further west.

Today's posts from our featured Port Elizabeth Blogger: The week that was...: Scott Lenton © Armand Pou The week started off with some beasterly easterlies, but all was forgiven once the wind settled and the easterly groundswell arrived. Durban had been getting clobbered by the solid tropical cyclone surf for a few days, and luckily it made it's way down the coast to the Oos Kaap with some juice still intact. There's an old saying that all the month's ending in "-er" are … [Read more...] about The week that was… – Featured Blog

Today's posts from our featured Port Elizabeth Blogger: The week that was...: Nup, that wasn't this week. Wish it was. Yet again the bay has a pretty mundane run of surf. There was the odd "highlight"  - when the wind actually stopped blowing for two whole mornings of the entire week - and there were some fun lil lumps to be had. Almost felt like the Twilight Zone or something to be out there in windless glassy conditions, a bit like something was missing. Ah yes, the wind! … [Read more...] about The week that was… – Featured Blog

Today's posts from our featured Port Elizabeth Blogger: The week that was....: Yip, summer's officially here. Coupla nice days, coupla stonking wind days. And no surf. Eish. It would be easier to deal with had we had really good surf this winter, but El Nino did us in for another year. Here's holding thumbs it's done now and we can go back to "normal" weather patterns next year - and the possibility of better surf.The lekker weather did mean the "locals" were out in force - pods of … [Read more...] about The week that was…. – Featured Blog

Today's posts from our featured Port Elizabeth Blogger: The week that was....: © Robbie Irlam Yeeeuuuw! The waves cranked on Sunday. Out west was firing on all cylinders, and when the wind finally abated somewhat (just went down a notch to howling as opposed to full-out gale) there were some solid solid lines pulling into the bay.Some solid solid thigh muscles were still required to deal with the chop, but if you didn't mind the odd bounce-a-thon you were good. Some loooong rides … [Read more...] about The week that was…. – Featured Blog
