With S.W. wind coming up the west coast, a lot of the surfing was kept towards the N.E. corner of the Island. As you moved further round towards the east coast, the surf started to drop off quickly to the point of mirror flat water at the south end of the Corralejo dunes. It was here a lot of the surf schools took advantage of the more sheltered breaks, although we did make a few trips up to the north west for some action off the inside reefs there that get protected from the big stuff!!

One of the biggest casualties of the surf so far is Cotillo beach, which has already taken a lot of swell this season, but has seen the surf pushed on to the beach into the top corner by the town, and pulling the sands away and exposing the rock normally kept covered beneath. It is an incredible feat the way a few of the islands beaches come and go for a period each winter, and every spring they are pushed back giving it the "postcard" look, nice!
I'm glad to say that as all the decorations get put away, and memories of a Crimbo pudding (that actually tasted nice??) fade with 2009, the Fuerte sun is back, the surf is ever calling and it's time for a sneaky paddle before work.
As ever, 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!!
