High pressure and easterlies look set to return next week
A strong high over northern Europe is pushing cold Siberian winds towards us from the east. Lows out in the Atlantic are pushing warm wet winds from the south west. Both are meeting near the Britsh Isles and heading north and there is a waving battlefront running north south that could contain rain or snow and likely to move east and west rather unpredictably. The west winds are now forecast to come back a bit at the weekend for westerly coasts.
The longer range forecast now suggests that high pressure will move west again over the southern British isles to sit out in the Atlantic and push the lows to the north and continue the cold easterly weather |

SOUTH WEST AND WALES (and south western Ireland).
Small clean waves now but building well into the medium range at the weekend with southerly winds initially then veering north westerly later in the weekend. Next week it now looks likely that the easterlies will return and last through next weekend with the next peak of westerly swells later in the week.
EAST COAST (Thurso area, use this and Far NW ).
Generally small to flat with light winds although a period of southerly winds around sunday could make some larger messy waves
FAR NORTH WEST OF SCOTLAND AND IRELAND.
Medium westerly swells with mostly southerly winds over the next few says these will probably turn south westerly later.
CHANNEL COAST (east of Start Point).
Generally very small to flat but the weekend swell and next week's swell may just show at the best spots.
Activities and Comments.
No weekend plans at the moment
The measurement of waves and surf quality is a vexed question and there is a lot of false Macho attitude "the bigger the better" around. This in my experience is not true for most people. There are also those who suggest that unless the surf is peeling perfectly and glassy smooth it is no good. Good medium sized surf in my book is usually in the range of 2-3ft with moderate winds either on, cross or offshore and cleanish faces. In other words the sort of stuff that comes around quite frequently and not just classic days. Small surf is in the 1-2ft region but should be rideable by most (if you can't ride this sort of surf your board is too small!) large surf is in the 4-6ft range and gets scary. If I think that the surf is going to be particularly good I will indicate it clearly for those who only go to the coast for special days.
You are welcome to ask a question or add a comment below. I will try to answer it by the time I post my next report and I will leave the answer up for a few days.
