February signifies the depths of winter to UK surfers.
On this day the water temperatures had completely bottomed out (MSW was showing a glorious 5 degrees!!), the sun (no matter how bright it appears) had no warmth to it, the wind had a bitter edge (and that was a westerly!!) and any ice hidden in the shadows had absolutely no intention of thawing out. Still the conditions were peachy with clean chest high peaks right up and down the beach.
