The Sands of Time

A few storms have applied themselves to the west coast of Cape Town, with pleasing consequences. The sand under the water at Derdesteen has started its Winter migration, shifting the swell and wave patterns. It always takes some getting used to - the waves break in subtly different ways when compared to the summer break, but almost invariably, break better.

This last weekend was indeed a case in point. A moderate offshore north westerley held up the waves, and some superb long rides were enoyed by the Derdesteen cognoscenti.
