Wave drought

It must be getting on for 3 weeks now. My barometer has been going up lately rather than down which is never a good sign but I'm hanging on in there for something decent.

Saturday's reading was 1012 and it's steadily risen to 1019. Despite this I've still been up at dawn's crack to check the waves so have that lovely slightly drained feeling you can only get from missing an hour or so of precious sleep.

It has to arrive soon. The desperado's were down at Rest Bay yesterday, surfing in relatively clean 1-2ft but it lacked any power and shape and with sw/ onshore winds blowing - it quickly turned into mush burgers.

A bit cleaner today from the looks of it but high tide dribble didn't inspire. The outer buoys are looking healthier so fingers crossed it comes in tonight.

The dominant period is there but that low was always tracking North so I hope we get something off it before it evades our swell window.

Tues and Weds look the best followed by a weak low drifting in for Thursday & Friday. I can't see the Welsh Nationals having great waves over the Bank Holiday but it won't be flat either.
