James Cox: K Bay and Milford on Sea.
As early the middle of last week a large area of swell had popped up on the Bigsalty swell charts showing an extremely high period swell with a solid swell height combined with a NW wind. I was cautiously optimistic that the swell would materialise but kept expectations under check. There was only one place I had in mind – Kimmeridge Broad Bench. Only a day or two prior to the event, the conditions were still looking sure as hell is hot. Blood pressure was rising. Once before I had forgone an amazing Broad Bench forecast and lived to regret it. I received a call that sorrowful day from Timo and JC tell me to get my ass down but alas, I had a work meeting that at the time could not be rearranged. Let’s just say I should have kicked it to the curb. On this occasion work wasn’t the complication, child care for a 3 month old was.
