[badger101]

Not sure what wednesday and thursday hold in store.

[surferdude_scarborough]

Epic S.coast reef action for me on Wednesday w000000p so stoked its deffo goona be pushing double over head on the main reef.

[southwestsurfer]

I hope the south coast holds up on saturday...

send some of that swell over to us in the us - been flatter than flat for over 2 weeks

[northswell]

nice northerly swell by the looks from late thurs thru th wkeend, east side so will be on it at some point.

James might be doing an overnighter. Or i may be able to get someone in the shop Fri, which could mean some serious reef time to crank it up

[MrJoe]

I'm hopefully going to be down Croyde on Saturday and Sunday (sunday has 4 stars and low cross shore winds on magic seaweed at the moment, but i expect that to change)

[Stone Fox]

ooh! surf! ummm.... Weekend at Croyde, or sunday at K-bay?

advice anyone? (I've never surfed K-bay before though!)

MSW is lying!!!!!

The forecast for the weekend, at least the details of swell and wind, are a bit tricky to call right now. Its almost certain to change. But at the moment it looks something like this for sunday...



...so I dont quite understand where MSW is getting its 4* rating from
That's wrong enough that I think they may have a glitch in their system (over and above the normal ones)

I cant see any 11s period swell, thats for sure

Hopefully Im wrong, or more to the point the charts change, as I plan to be surfing this weekend too!!

[Sillysausage]

i completely agree, where do msw get their info from?? it's hardly ever right, and when the swell is good, msw still over rates it

[Laguna]

Im deciding on whether or not to go out today.
3-4ft messy hmm
20mph onshore winds hmm

im thinking Thursday, winds should have dropped a bit. Not sure whether to give the southcoast a go.

[Sillysausage]

winds are forcast to drop tomorrow, but so is the swell. i'd go today, and if tomorrow is any good, do em both, but look for a sheltered spot today

[Laguna]

I want to go today but winds look really bad, and whats worse is its 3-4ft odd messy.
At Llangennith you dont realy want to bother when its big and messy - its usually a waste. This is annoying me now. Its either flat or blown out.

[Sillysausage]

i know, langland looking good today? i know of a couple of spots on the gower that would be ok (secrets) but i don't know of many near llangennith

[Laguna]

Ye im just thinking of maybe gambling today by going to a couple of secret spots instead. They may or may not be working..

[badger101]

Whitsand Bay this afternoon.
6ft face.
Quite impressive

[Laguna]

went out this evening and the sun came out. Was a solid 3ft clean. It was amazing - only bad thing was there was about 40 odd other surfers fighting you for the waves.

[PapaW]

S.Coast was makking yesterday W00p w00p

Could someone explain to me what it is I am supposed to look for in weather charts...lows... highs?? I have no idea!

Either that or point me in the direction of a site which explains it in words of 1 or 2 syllables lol

thanking you kindly
