King Spike
After my recent "observation" about the loss of the free webcam service, I thought it would be worth reminding everyone about the amazing surf information service that has been provided by Spike for umpteen years now.
Spike's thrice-weekly email surf report is eagerly awaited by many, and in my opinion, its getting consistently better and better. What is particularly cool is how accurate his associated weather reports are, in particular, the prospects for tolerable wind conditions.
Recent case in point - Sunday 22 Jan. Spike predicted a windy day, but said it would die out in the late afternoon. He also predicted a decent sized swell.
"I'm going surfing this afternoon", I told everyone. "No way" they all said, "this wind is going nowhere."
"Spike said it go away", said I, confidently.
And true enough, come 6pm, a fantastic sunset surf was enjoyed by myself, and what I can only presume were about 50 other Spike readers (Derdes was amazingly full, considering the wind that had been pumping just an hour earlier)
