Mornings are certainly chillier these days. As are evenings. Days remain fairly warm but it’s definitely going to get colder. And our seas are on the drop as far as warmth levels go too. The scorching days of summer may seem like a lifetime ago but the arrival of winter doesn’t need to spell an end to your surfing and water shenanigans.
Winter can be the best time for surfing and other watersports – especially if you time it right. Sure, there are days when it’s blowing a hooly and the waves are a frothy mess. But equally those bluebird, crisp sessions can be scored if you keep your eyes peeled.
With colder temperatures, the need for additional rubber and associated accessories is key. Keeping this in mind here are some winter surfing and watersports essentials you’ll be wanting in your kit box to make the most of things this off season.
