Perfect for a moment of calm to just chill and take in the views!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Surf Sessions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ve had some surf too. Morgan and I managed to get out on the water for a couple of days in a row.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first session came after a day on campus for me. I caught the bus home in the early afternoon but started feeling travel sick, so I had to get off just before Glanwern. That left me with a 3-mile walk home along the beach. The surf looked great, so I was eager to get home and into the water. Morgan joined me, and what we thought would be a mellow session turned into something much bigger. The waves were larger and bumpier than expected out the back!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next day it was much nicer if a little small. I&#8217;d been working all day again but popped over to the beach at 5 pm for some fresh air. As I did so I was greeted with small but lovely looking surf. So, off we went again, this time for a much mellower session catching some nice little waves together..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Views from the Dunes It might not feel like it this year, but there have been some breaks in the weather here and there.
