Today's posts from our featured Port Elizabeth Blogger: The week that was....: Helloooooo winter, you finally arrived! Better late than never. The swell arrived on Friday, but it's good mate, the gale-force westerly came with it. Which meant unless you liked the challenge of getting repetitively bounced off your board by man-sized chop, then you were resigned to sit and watch and wish for the wind to bogger-off. Which it did, on Saturday. The bay still had some morning … [Read more...] about The week that was…. – Featured Blog

Today's posts from our featured Port Elizabeth Blogger: The week that was...: © WSL Yeeeuw, Twiggy Baker you beauty! Twig took the win at the WSL #PuertoChallenge in macking conditions. Most certainly the world's gnarliest beachie. And don't think, ah beachie, easy. Forget it, that sand's like concrete when you get pummeled into it. Crazy how more guys don't get annihilated out there. Personally think I'd drown just sitting on the beach watching....​Coupla waves about in the … [Read more...] about The week that was… – Featured Blog

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 … [Read more...] about The week that was…. – Featured Blog

Today's posts from our featured Port Elizabeth Blogger: The week that was...: © AVG Winter finally arrived - and so did the swell. Saturday was the pick of the bunch, with solid lines pouring into the bay, and further up the coast. The JBU Super trial went off in epic conditions, with some of the top surfers in the country going to town on the big walls. JBay local Steve Sawyer grabbed the win - and the wildcard. Remi Peterson hooked the barrel of the day. Check out the full wrap … [Read more...] about The week that was… – Featured Blog

Today's posts from our featured Port Elizabeth Blogger: The week that was....: Dean Simpson styling © Kody McGregor The run of stunning weather continued, with most of the week being glassy. Some waves about if you went looking, and even the odd fun one in the bay. Thursday was the pick of the bunch as far as conditions went, dead calm and fun waves. Their lack of grunt made up for by the perfect conditions. Not often you get the wave/zero wind combo thing happening. Jono … [Read more...] about The week that was…. – Featured Blog

Today's posts from our featured Port Elizabeth Blogger: The week that was....: Dane Cox on Thursday. Round the corner © Indian Swell Finally the swell gods smiled upon us again. After a 3 week dry spell in the bay a few fun waves made there way round Cape Recife. Friday was the pick of the week. Sheet glass most of the day and super fun lil runners around.

So says baseball. And so say the swell gods to us as the punishment continued for that good run of swell a while ago. Yet another lacklustre week in the bay as far as waves went - the 3rd in a row, although things did kick up a few notches on Friday.  Calm conditions … [Read more...] about The week that was…. – Featured Blog

Today's posts from our featured Port Elizabeth Blogger: The week that was..... by Millerslocal.co.za - Millerslocal's Blog: Hangover week for sure. After a run of really good surf the whole of the previous week, this week was a bust instead of gangbuster. Sure, there were waves about if you took a drive, but as far as the bay went it was rather dismal. Unless you dig onshores, then you were smiling.​Monday offered up a few dribs and drabs, but as the week wore on the surf dropped … [Read more...] about The week that was….. – Featured Blog

If for some cruel twist of fate you weren't near the coast this past week, stop reading now, else you're likely to try something with a blunt knife. It really was that good. Waves every single day for an entire week. Ou's were surfed out by the end of it. Reports of only 8 guys in the … [Read more...] about The week that was…. – Featured Blog

Today's posts from our featured Port Elizabeth Blogger: The week that was..... by Millerslocal.co.za - Millerslocal's Blog: The much-hyped purple blob didn't deliver. Purple wind we got. Purple waves? Nup. Sure, there was a bit of swell, but nothing like anyone had expected after what the charts led us to believe. But at least there were some waves about after the wind backed off, and it certainly was the best day of the week - which wasn't hard to achieve seeing as it'd been flat in … [Read more...] about The week that was….. – Featured Blog

Really good waves on Monday, out west was cranking and even the bay had some decent one's. Warm water, light winds, could be worse ways to spend the day.

Unfortunately for those who didn't make the drive west, it was also filled with a bit too much wind to start with, and by the time the wind abated, so had the swell.

Today's posts from our featured Port Elizabeth Blogger: The week that was.... by Millerslocal.co.za - Millerslocal's Blog: © Dean Cothill Plenty of swell still around on Monday last week, how better to kick off the week with a public holiday AND surf. The holiday plus surf combo meant that there was a bit of congestion in the line-up's, but at least quite a few waves to go round. Things quietened down as the week progressed, but a bang down to a whimper beats a whimper to a … [Read more...] about The week that was…. – Featured Blog

A solid 16 second 4m bang. Pity the wind was the usual accompaniment, but that's how the proverbial cookie crumbles. Supers was super, whilst everywhere else struggled to deal with the breeze.  Image: Robbie Irlam A sign of things to come was seen earlier in the week … [Read more...] about The week that was…. – Featured Blog
