21 Aug, camera bag, phone only, tripod stays packed. Leftover swell from the last few days. Kid already eyeing the shallows. I want a local, not a cocktail.

Stay where you can stand. Flags if they exist; leftover chop, toddlers knee-deep. Leftover chop is ordinary August sea, not a brochure. No inflatables past the first break. I will not invent an official warning colour.

We waited at beach road, then walked toward canal. Fine. The first quote was a speech. Flags if they exist; leftover chop, toddlers knee-deep.
