What Monsoon?

The general consensus is this year’s SW monsoon was particularly limp-wristed. It threatened to get going on a few occasions, and then pussied out. We were held in a miserable state of ‘onshore limbo’ for almost three months, where the wind never really blew hard or long enough to produce decent sized waves, yet was always around to mess up whatever swell there was.

Some breaks that were working last season have made hardly a whimper over the past few months, whereas other breaks that didn’t really work previously have sometimes been the only place with a wave? Why, send your answers on a postcard?

Oh well, on the up side, a lot of good times were had. We travelled to some cool places, we surfed some new breaks, plenty of friends visited and we met a few new characters. The cherry on the cake was the best swell runs were accompanied with light winds, fine weather and good company…so who’s complaining.
