The sea is cold and the surf not that good in the UK this weekend.
Luckily I have just had a great winter break, surfing and kayak surfing in Barbados.

The surf was not huge but regular clean 4ft sets hit the south coast of the island all week.
Beach Lifeguard News
It is looking like the RNLI will take over the Lifeguarding on Exmoth Town beach. So next year there will be Sandy Bay and Exmouth Town beaches in East Devon both under RNLI control.
