The Winter

such as it is
in these parts
is a strange
creature

Chilly mornings
followed by
warm afternoons
then back to
chilly evenings

A well timed
early morning
swell check
can reward you
with empty
spitting
offshore
tubes
or
epic
high tide
flatness

At least your
wetsuit
drys out
in the afternoon

Your booties
won't be totally dry
until March
