Every cloud has a silver lining..
They say every cloud has a silver lining, never a truer word spoken.
I've no problem with listening to family and friends going on about how bad the weather is in the UK, knowing full well only a few days later we can expect the produce of all those dirty great weather systems Fantastic Fuerte Surf
It seems this autumn has been particularly unkind to western Europe, breaking all kinds of horrible meteorological record, ho-hum.
The silver lining then is the seemingly endless days of solid pumping N.W. swells doing their funky thing, and with only the odd day of wind, October and November have produced some fantastic sessions. The 3 day spell at Outside Rocky Point (Punta Elena) in Corralejo harbour scored heavy in early November, will be talked about for a while. It was like something straight out of the south pacific!
The western beaches are becoming a little more intense as these winter bombs take their toll, dragging the sand banks off the beaches and into deeper water. Most of the main beaches on that coast are closed to bathers this time of year. So some of the inside reefs have been offering conditions for those not wishing to face the full force of the northern shores. Surf schools take advantage of reformed waves , keeping away from the more established locations. Wind swells too have given the less experienced a chance to play up and down the east coast.
Crowds? There are definitely more people in the water this year. One of the island's more protected breaks has seen queuing like systems amongst 50-60 surfers!
With outsiders or "giri's" often told to leave the peak. All I have to say on this is this - it's frustrating maybe, but part of the game we play, so play nice and respect the local rule.
Besides, there’s plenty for everyone and everyone's been getting plenty!
Bit of wind this week, poo, I guess it's time for that admin to get done, Christmas cards don't write themselves!
Keep up your posts guys for local advice and how-to's etc, and if anybody has any good action or comedy-action shots/photo's/videos they would like to see up on the page, I'd love 'em!
Dont forget, if you want any advice for any watersports on Fuerte, holidays trips, courses etc please drop me a line/text on (0034) 664 830 103, or write to me on richie@awol-holidays.com.
