Early Mornings

It has been a long time since my last posting which isn’t because of bad surf but more a result of me being busy being a daddy. There have been some fun surf during the winter but most sessions have been either short and intense or in poor lighting due to the short winter days. Now things are lighting up and the days are becoming longer and there is light early in the morning again, making it possible to go surf before work :)

Last Friday there was a small NE swell in the Baltic Sea, it wasn’t much but enough to get up at 04 am and get 2 hours of surf.



When we arrived the conditions was doubtful but a few reasonable sets sneaked through. We went in and within a quarter the wind dropped totally and the current shifted cleaning up the small swell. Most sets were in the waist to shoulder high range and an occasional headhigh set came in.



It was a session that without doubt was worth getting up in the middle of the night for.

At Monday it happed again, this time just in Kattegat. During Sunday night the wind had been hauling from NV and the forecast was predicting a fast drop during Monday morning as a low pressure was passing close by.



Conditions were Ok but not as good as we had expected. The forecast had predicted 2-3 m waves but it was more like headhigh and a few sets over headhigh due to the wind had dropped earlier than expected.

During our session the wind dropped and turned offshore which improved conditions considerably. Sadly the waves faded quickly and lasted for only 2 hours, though it was enough to get stoked and without doubt the best way to spent Moday morning.
