Welcome to the daily surf and wind report for 5th July 2008.

Everyday I go to the beach and take a picture of the conditions. I try and do this before 9.00am, but sometimes I need a lie in (or I am out surfing having forgotten the camera). The surf is always better the closer it gets to high tide. 2-3 hours before high tide usually is the best time.
