I felt too tired for no reason and didn't want to go shooting sunrise. All the more so the forecast offered 97% cloud cover and average 1.7m waves. My wife insisted to set an alarm and have a look at the clouds in the morning. And so I did.
At 3.50 I still felt tired and had low energy, but rugged clouds seemed promising and after 10 minutes, during which all steps of acceptance passed (denial, anger, depression, bargaining, acceptance) I gave up and started gathering things.
...Fast forward to the beach...
This was one of the best and most diverse sunrises in the last few months! And the best thing are occasional huge waves, which I adore and always hunt.
Thanks to my wife.
