Where did the waves go?

Myself and Cian hadn't surfed in about 2 weeks. There hadn't been waves in Cork and everywhere else was just big, onshore and not worth the trip up to. We saw a slight opportunity to get a surf in at one of our favorite waves. Even though we knew it wasn't going to be great, we needed a surf and decided it was worth the trip!

                           

We left at 6am as the tide suited a surf for about 8am and it's a two hour drive to Clare from our houses. When we arrived the tide was still a bit low but we couldn't wait for another surf so we jumped in anyway and were in the water for 8:30. It was pretty fun out there for how small it was and we traded waves for almost 3 hours. Only two of us out and we were happy!

The tide then got too low, so we jumped out and headed for lunch. We had some time to burn before it would start working again so we decided to go look for a place that one our friends had told us about a couple of weeks ago. It took us a while be we eventually found it and it looked like it had the making of a sick wave! I can't wait to surf it, After our little search we decided it was about time we went back to that slab so we headed off over to it. When we turned up it looked pretty similar to that morning so we got in for 2.5 hours. I was happy because I landed a nice ARS and I got a lovely little barrel on my last wave! Good end to a fun fun day. Looking forward to the next proper swell, Which hopefully won't be too long away!  Here is the rest of the photos.
