03 August 2016 ............ Falls of Lora
A foul day in the Oban area - grey, rain, damp. A 4 metre flood should have produced conditions just a wee bit up from the previous evening.
However all the rain meant that Loch Etive was away up in height even before the flood tide started - at least 300 mm higher - so conditions were very different.
The wave beside the north pier was the longest I have seen it all summer - it was easy enough to get on, but like so many times before, just too fast to stay on it for any length of time.
Unlike the previous evening, the wave out in the middle didn`t exist, so all in all, not the best evening of surfing.
We still had the same foul weather - and Ben Cruachan was completely hidden.
Back at the car park and all packed up and ready to go - and suddenly the sun pokes a hole through the cloud.
It went on to produce a quite unusual type of evening lighting for the next ten minutes or so, before it vanished as quickly as it had arrived.
