It’s the start of the first big swell of the season right on cue for October

It’s a glorious evening but there’s a hint of Autumn in the air, from the village by the sea

Looking over a hilltop village in Portugal it is clear blue sky day and the sea is in the distance

Fabulous. One of only a few songs from them I actually remember clearly being in the charts and on the radio

Back from the desert, with its missile alerts and heat, I really missed the village above the sea

Looking over a hilltop village in Portugal the houses are white the roofs are red tile and in the distance the sea glimmers

First swell for a while short period swell so hard work couple of keen surfers battling to get a wave

Looking out to sea from a low cliff, there are waves breaking on the beach, the sky is cloudy with patches of blue

All of the Middle East states treat “locals” as varying degrees of citizenship depending on tribe and everyone else is disposable, there is no path to citizenship, so tribal rather than racial

Yeah I guess it is different but the animosity between the factions is still very real and there is still the dividing line between north and south. Felt very different 20 years ago, loved it then.

Current POV Cascais innit, how the other half live

Looking out from a balcony over a crowded harbour in Cascais Portugal, there are many small fishing boats and yachts at anchor

Yes, I was trying to remember his name, I seem to recall there was quite a buzz about him until Starmer pulled the plug

I wonder if Burnham was making Levenson 2 noises...

Will Mcc @willmccdxb.bsky.social · 03/07/2026

that's it I grew up n the 70s and 84 was the first peak but a divorce and a move to London at 32 and I suddenly discover clubs 😂 Ended as messily as you might think.

Will Mcc @willmccdxb.bsky.social · 03/07/2026

the best of it needed nothing to enjoy but usually after you'd heard it in the club so hard to separate the cause and effect of recalling a good time, rather that the specifics. I was mad for 90s tracks but that could be that those were the glory days....

Despite, or most likely because of, the record breaking heat in Europe our corner of Portugal is mired in coastal fog

Looking down over a cliff on a very foggy day, a surfer rides a small wave

I do wonder if the closure of municipal pools has any bearing in this?

Its been a magnificent day with no wind but a nice swell down the beach, sand is returning slowly lots of people enjoying the last week before parking charges start

Looking over a low cliff at a bay with breaking waves below, sea and sky are blue

Never driven a semi auto ( as we called them) they are so rare nowadays, it was a bit of a dead end for VW but interesting

Lovely place, I first learned to surf there more than 44 years ago on a board from PJs shop

Will Mcc @willmccdxb.bsky.social · 08/04/2026

There’s been a run of big swells throughout Western Europe, we’ve even got offshore days 6-8 on the sets no takers. The sands are still miles out to sea so zero beach at 1/4 after low.

Looking out to sea , abi set is breaking offshore, sky blur or light cloud

Finally some bluish sky. Lots of changes down the beach, mainly that we don’t seem to have one anymore.

Looking over a low cliff at a bay with large waves breaking out to sea, the sky is blue though there is some high cloud

6m mayhem as Ingrid sweeps in, already getting power cuts and the beaches are closed from tomorrow

Looking out to sea over a large swimming pool, a storm is approaching and massive waves are breaking out to sea

Will Mcc @willmccdxb.bsky.social · 16/01/2026

It’s a huge unruly day down the beach, understandable that there’s no takers

Looking out to sea over a low car park wall, there a big unruly waves breaking 500m offshore

Will Mcc @willmccdxb.bsky.social · 24/12/2025

The beach has been stripped by the run of massive swells, seems to have dumped it out to sea, messy as

Looking out to sea there are large rocks in the foreground and a messy swell breaking out to sea on a blue sky day

Will Mcc @willmccdxb.bsky.social · 06/12/2025

It’s big, very big in fact I’d say it bloody massive, Nazaré is obviously on and has been for 3 days

Looking out to sea during a massive early Winter swell

Another Orca avoider chugging past a couple of hundred meters behind a big breaking swell

A boat sails past breaking waves off the coast of Portugal, sky high level clouds and a massive swell with an offshore wind

Will Mcc @willmccdxb.bsky.social · 03/11/2025

Not even wind assisted in this case, despite there being a reasonable breeze, they are terrified of the orcas to the extent that they will sail in the surf line with less than a hour of daylight left and 2 hours from a safe port, in this case Cascais.

Will Mcc @willmccdxb.bsky.social · 03/11/2025

Another Captain who believes his engine is immortal, he’s sailing so close to the breaking swell that they would have minutes if the engine failed, and that swell is 3+M

First big swell of winter I bet Coxos or some other place is going off

Looking out to sea from a low cliff, it is a grey day and a big swell is breaking

Tiny surf feels like summer swells not the start of Autumn

Looking across a road to a wide beach beneath a hazy blue sky, there is tiny surf and quite a few out

Will Mcc @willmccdxb.bsky.social · 18/09/2025

The fear of the Orcas is driving some skippers to take some pretty serious risks sailing far too close to shore, hard to see on a phone camera but this vessel is crazy close to shore

Looking out to sea some surfers are catching some waves while just offshore a yacht motors past the beach

Will Mcc @willmccdxb.bsky.social · 24/08/2025

We have some skandi types who are brutally protective of their patches. No chance breaking through that

Will Mcc @willmccdxb.bsky.social · 24/08/2025

There are many hazards in the country, they were always kinda known to us country kids but the increasing urbanisation has meant many more are now learning, the country never was safe especially if you grew up on a farm, it was practically a blood sport

Yeah hers were like massive blisters, it was definitely a giant hogweed because it was 15’ long……
