week

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.....: © Chris Taljaard A little mid-week easterly pulse kept everyone wet and stoked. Tuesday late arvo saw the wind abate a bit and some good one's come through, with more of the same on Wednesday. Wind been pretty gnarly the last few weeks  - the old wives tale says that all months ending in "er" are the windy one's. So far September and October are proving that correct! © Robbie Irlam … [Read more...] about The week that was….. – Featured Blog

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....: © James FloodSeptember finally awoke from her slumber and after a very slow start to the week saw a weekend of super fun waves roll in. Later on this week is looking promising so the month might not end up being a damp squib after all.Stanley Badger © Robbie Irlam© Jot de LauwereMonday woke up with a hangover and there were some dribs and drabs lurking about if you made the effort to drive. Just lots … [Read more...] about The week that was…. – Featured Blog

Today's posts from our featured Port Elizabeth Blogger: The week that was......: © Wayne Hart Another seriously slow week in the bay as far as waves go. You had to do a bit of driving in order to get your salt water fix. Those in the know scored some decent surf whilst those stuck to their ways in the bay mumbled about the fact there was nothing going on.  © Indian Swell Productions | Christo Zietsmann For a few Eastern Cape lighties the local swell drought isn't a … [Read more...] about The week that was…… – Featured Blog

Today's posts from our featured Port Elizabeth Blogger: The week that was....: Seals sunrise © Merrick Fairall The waves seem to have gone into hiding since the advent of Spring. A really slow week inside the bay, and not even a helluva lot happening if you went driving round the corner or down the freeway. Plenty of grumpy ou's around due to lack of salt water injections.

Today's posts from our featured Port Elizabeth Blogger: The week that was....: Martin Hartslief © Robbie Irlam Finally we had some decent surf. Been a while coming. Lekker day Wednesday and Thursday. If you missed it be miserable. PE had some seriously fun waves, and Jbay had some bombs. Hopefully everyone got their fill, cos this week looks a bit slow again. Looks like a one day outta seven kinda forecast. Don't miss the one day.... © Richard Mangold Wednesday saw some … [Read more...] about The week that was…. – Featured Blog

Today's posts from our featured Port Elizabeth Blogger: The week that was...: © Robbie Irlam Yssss, wish I could stop saying "that was a pretty quiet week" but yet again it was. Monday was the pick of the bunch with super fun lil waves coming through, albeit with long lulls in between. The rest of the week was a scratch inside the bay, but if you took a drive, even a short one, you were rewarded.

Today's posts from our featured Port Elizabeth Blogger: The week that was....: © Sean Pretorius Bit of a slow week in the bay again this week. But as usual, if you put the k's in you could find something to surf. Sunday had looked to be a good day on the forecast, but didn't quite deliver as expected. Although in this case it wasn't the early birds, but rather the late one's that scored - with the swell jacking up a bit right before dark.

Today's posts from our featured Port Elizabeth Blogger: The week that was....: © Dean Cothill Pretty quiet week as far as surfing goes, a coupla waves about if you made the effort, whether it was driving past a boom or further out west. Big Dave's been spotted test driving his new "short" board in JBay recently. It takes a pretty high volume board to allow a big ou to plant both feet on the same side of the rail!

Today's posts from our featured Port Elizabeth Blogger: The week that was....: Yeeeuw, waves all week. Plenty of easterly cyclone swell around, getting in to all the nooks and crannies. Humewood was the pick of the bunch, with some good sessions at Suicides, Denvilles and Fence as well. Some serious paddling power required though thanks to the hectic sweep. Had to pay to play. Jakes had the lefts all to himself Further west and JBay and Bruce's had some excellent … [Read more...] about The week that was…. – Featured Blog
