READING THE SEA…

Is it worth a session at Half Moon Bay?

At 1.2 m it's funfun, rideable waves for most surfers. The swell period is long, so that energy is well-organised, cleaner-breaking and more powerful than the height alone suggests. This is the open-sea figure — the wave that actually breaks at a given peak depends on the spot's shape and the state of the tide, so treat it as a steer, not a promise. The water is 14°C — cold.
