High pressure is moving westerly and bringing us into the cold northerly sector

This is good for hardy east coast surfers who will see a long period of significant windwaves and swells but poor for west coasts. There will be two small swells from the west around wednesday and sunday. Beyond this point the forecasts diverge.
SOUTH WEST AND WALES (and south western Ireland).

Cooler weather with northerly windwaves and very little westerly surf for most of the time. Small westerly swell peaks on Wednesday and Sunday.

EAST COAST (Thurso area, use this and Far NW ).

Good medium to large northerly swells messed up by wind waves fading later in the week to small

FAR NORTH WEST OF SCOTLAND AND IRELAND.

Northerly windwaves and swells fading slowly and a few small westerly swell later in the weel

CHANNEL COAST (east of Start Point).

Very small to flat. Maybe a small swll midweek if you are lucky

Activities and Comments.

Off to Woollacombe for the eater 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.
