Winter Swell

Winter is here or our first big cold front is here. I am so amped for it, not sure why ?

Here is why, we live in a desert that thankfully gets brushed every winter by storms off the Great Southern Ocean. Cold, clean winds driving storms from the Antarctic giving us the most precious resource we have on our planet, water. Good clean clear water which sustains us over the dry summer months when the earths axis tilts again and those storms drift past our continent.

Surfers also watch these storms as they bring the big winter swells which make our country a mecca for surfers from around the world even though we are in winter. Hardy souls from around the Cape will be donning their wetsuits to brave the conditions while the uneducated will continue with their merry existence. Blissfully unaware that out there in our freezing waters people are getting stoked. I love that word stoked.

So check out the storm arriving this weekend and whatever you do get out there and get stoked.
