cracking waves up here in lewis (Hebrides) at the moment, on the east coast which isn't forecasted by magic seaweed, good offshore wind, a dying north swell so about 7 foot at the moment. The wild West Coast has good sized waves but the wind is causing it to be a little choppy at the moment.

'Still completely flat, and not looking like there will be much changing throughout the week'

Do you think 1.5ft @ 10 seconds will be surfable (Polzeath Thursday or Friday)? I know it's not ideal but I need to get out and surf before my two weeks holiday is up! So disappointed .. two weeks off work and it's been flat

by **Sillysausage** » Tue Sep 04, 2007 4:29 pm

i thought it was more like 1.5ft?

by **Chris369** » Tue Sep 04, 2007 4:30 pm

Oh yeah, that's what I meant :oops:

Surfable at 1.5m...? Yes.

Surfable at 1.5ft...? No.

Actually, I think it'll just about be surfable come the end of the week. the tide is midafternoon so it'll be best from around noon. It wont be much but I dont think it'll be actually flat... :roll:

Good luck! :wink:

some of the biggest sets ive seen at Whitsand. About 3 weeks back. This was a day magicseaweed predicted 3ft... that bloody site is always wrong!

Yup. Its been depressing. I was tempted this morning, but it was still to small at Widemouth.

Prediction says Thursday might JUST be surfable, Saturday should be ok. Then dead again.

went down caswell today and it was flat as a pancake. not really complaining cos was just two of us in the water on our sexy new boards, stunning weather and warm sea. just ended up mucking around and paddeling (which i just cant do!) and stuff.

still want some waves though!!!

yeah there was hardly anything, caswell picks up less swell than most beaches on the gower, although it wouldn't have made much difference anyway because it was pretty much flat everywhere

i rember the day but i dont rember it being 7ft (unless im thinking of a diffrent day) 7ft to me is well overhead it was more like sholder to head high on some sets

by **badger101** » Wed Sep 05, 2007 4:18 pm

Yeh it lasted around 30/40minutes ish.
Was certainly well over head high.
anyhow...the flatness continues

Back. Nice lil ol sesh North Bay, Only 2-3ft but nice and clean odd little section to really work with only about fifty out so not too busy. Only me a mate and a handfull of othes on middle peak nr the rocks.

One very nice vertical snap made it all worth while almost a proper REO

UK- so when is everyone heading back into the sea?
