Before we moved here, I had never thought of Nova Scotia as a center for surfing, let alone Western Head. Right now with a storm in the Atlantic Ocean heading for Bermuda, Gull Bay, right in front of our home, will be surfing central. For the first time this summer, the surf came up this afternoon. Surfers got the message and tonight at dusk several cars of surfers were out in force, measuring the waves and checking it out. Now it is dark and the sea is noisy but I bet some surfers are out surfing in the dark, even though it is dangerous.
For sure, when I wake up tomorrow morning, I will see the small black clad figures out in the bay, trying to catch a wave. One of our Doctors is a surfer, so when surf is up, appointments are rescheduled. For those who must go to work, the surfers start early before work, then return in the late afternoon. This is the first time since May the surfers have been able to play.
People actually move to this area, just to be able to surf. It is best for them in the winter so they pull on their dry suits and head out to sea to surf. It is fun watching them. Now the fun begins at Gull Bay.
