[905] May Day (May 13th)

Date: May 17th, 2009 | Comments : [1] | Categories: Shizuoka.

Hard to believe that is was the 13th of the month and that I hadn’t been surfing yet.  I tried to go out on the 7th but the conditions were terrible (heavy rain, strong winds and nasty waves) all the way from Yoshida to Omaezaki.  Naturally, I checked all the points in between.  :(

I was keen to get in the water.  The forecast at several sites looked promising and Mr. T predicted good waves…

How would today compare with yesterday?  I imagined that it would be an average small-ish day at Yoshida.

One of my favourite days of week is Wednesday because it is my official surfing day (unless I have a pesky department meeting).

The websites at several of the local shops predicted monster waves – would they be correct?!?

First stop – Yoshida!

I had a nice two-hour session before school.  It’s amazing how much nicer work seems after a fun morning at the beach!

Looked like a lake today!  Perfect conditions for swimming.  I just snapped these two pictures and left the beach.  My spring vacation is officially over.

Another day of small waves. Even smaller than last Friday.  It was a warm day – spring has finally sprung!  The waves were so small that even catching one was difficult.  I decided to do lots of paddling practice and I paddled the width of the beach.  My arms were tired after that!

Today was the last Friday of my spring vacation.  I was looking forward to a good day of surfing…

The waves were smaller than yesterday’s but what would happen with the changing tide?
