This way I had the chance to have a longer look on the sandbar of the ex-Queen of the Coast and after a while realized that she was breaking quite nice there quite consistently. I decided it was time to leave the cosiness of the van and walk down for a closer look. The wave broke very shallow over the sandbar and produced a short and barely makeable left and a longer but also very fast right.
The Queen has always been a bitch and very reluctant with letting somebody take off on her without getting immediately hammered into the shallow waters over her sandbar. But despite showing glimpses of her former perfection, The Queen´s sandbar still is far from the perfection it had in its glory days a few years ago. The offshore, the high period swell and the moon helped though in creating a couple of perfectly shaped cylinders and the odd long speedy right.
Over at everybody’s favoured jetty of the past years, the dying swell also managed to create a couple of more fun waves, but long lulls indicated that the show would be over soon. I left in the early afternoon and cruised back south along the coast and enjoyed the view on the various fjords and small woods nicely lit by the low standing sun. Winter is close and as compensation for the now rapidly sinking air temperatures you now get that special winter light. At least sometimes. A stop at the southern jetty – just to make sure I didn´t miss anything – gave a hint of what other sort of lighting we now have to get used to.
After a brief swell check, I returned to the van and continued my journey home. And just before the road turns inland the sun came out again and said goodbye with another display of magic light. Thank you Denmark, Thank you North Sea.
