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…

As the morning passed, the waves got better. It was a nice morning of surfing!
School’s now in full swing, so I can comfortably enjoy going surfing in the mornings again..

As you can see, not exactly crowded… wonder why?
How would today compare with yesterday? I imagined that it would be an average small-ish day at Yoshida.


One of the local longboarders that I regularly see in action. Don’t know his name (yet).
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…


Not very promising. So we decided to check out some other breaks…

No joking – today was a pretty good day…

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