Weak slow moving lows bring small waves and changeable weather
The detail is very difficult but lows and fonts will be moving slowly in from the west during the lookout period. These will bring a small westerly groundswell (south westerly fro the far north and west) and rather mixed weather for this weekend right through to the following weekend. |
|
SOUTH WEST AND WALES (and south western Ireland).
Small swells and sometimes messed up by light winds getting a bit larger at the weekend with a lull midweek be sure make the best use of the location and tidal push to find good waves.
EAST COAST (Thurso area, use this and Far NW ).
Small northerly wind waves and swells until and through the weekend then probably returning to flat
FAR NORTH WEST OF SCOTLAND AND IRELAND
Generally rather small with south westerly swells and north easterly winds a lot of the time probably the worst prospects of all areas but there should be some small waves for west coasts at the weekend and the eastern end of the north coast. in between it looks rather iffy.
CHANNEL COAST (east of Start Point).
Very small to flat. Swells may just manage to get up the channel at the weekend.
Activities and Comments.
We are involved in a street party on Sunday but plan to see the sea later in the long weekend.
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.
