Big game hunting

Saturday:
The weekend is looking great for surf in South Wales.

Light winds and a medium to small swell for Saturday followed by something altogether more boisterous for Sunday and southerly winds for the morning before swinging more onshore.

Who cares if summer is over? Lets crack on with some autumnal swells!

Next week looks really promising too with some 2.5-3m swell on the horizon so I might have to take a day off work at this rate...

The weekend low - a 990 deepens and becomes nicely wedged between us and a high pressure sitting off the East coast.

I never get bored of seeing nicely packed isobars develop around a nice circular onion shape sitting off the coast.

It slowly drifts NNW and back towards Ireland before the next low rolls in for Tuesday night/Weds morning.

My low pressure 'big toe' is twitching like hell at the moment so we're in for a good run!

Big Wednesday:
The next low looks like another nice one, but the hit will fairly short n sweet.

Huey has given me the ultimate bitrhday present this year and he doesn't even need to gift wrap it :)

The low deepens rapidly into a 995 but drifts more NW with the epicentre being more over W Ireland but we'll get plenty off it.

It just won't deliver such a nice long period swell as the first. I think we're getting spoilt to be honest.


Wax up those rhino chasers boys and girls.
