Sea was milky / bad visibility and some churn but not too choppy.

The seal kept popping up out of the water and almost playing with us - he came within one metre of us and swam underneath our boards. This went on for 20mins approx. It was magical!

It seemed to be playing and was not disturbed or wary of quite a number of people watching from the beach. A dog barked but was restrained. The seal beached itself and was rolling in the surf. We watched from the cliff top for about 10 minutes. The photos we took do not give much detail as too far away. I will attempt to send one.can get it from phone to iPad.
