It may not be California but surfers have been waxing down their surfboards and making the most of the waves at Boscombe beach on what has turned out to be a very soggy Saturday.
A number of surfers could be seen enjoying the choppy conditions near Boscombe Pier earlier on as many of us stay indoors and out of the rain.
The Surfing England website says under the latest coronavirus restrictions "surfing can continue through the lockdown as part of your exercise plans and beaches are listed as one of the outdoor public places you can visit".
A few hardy joggers and walkers also braved the miserable weather to take some exercise.
According to the Met Office forecast, more heavy rain is expected later today around 5pm and 6pm with further outbreaks of rain predicted for Sunday.
A yellow weather warning has been issued for Hampshire but as yet, no alert is in force for Dorset.
The Environment Agency has issued alerts for Christchurch and Poole harbours during high water this evening as well as in the New Forest.
