Wind 1 : Swell 0

The age old battle continues to rage. We seem to either have howling onshore winds here in Wales or nothing...

After Wednesdays classic surf, Thursday was rudely written off by SW onshore winds.

This morning, hardly a breath of N wind but the surf had all but vanished - just some faint 1ft lines and poor wave period (dribbling in at around 4 seconds).

Saturday's forecast chart shows HP moving in:


It's all set to change later apparently but I remain sceptical as high pressure moves in for the weekend.

There is however a low attempting to push in behind it so we'll have to wait and see.

Next week should be good though but I'm not convinced this weekend will be as big as currently being predicted. There's always a decent fetch but realistically that low is a good 3 days away from delivering it's payload to our shores.

Next Tues forecast chart:


I really hope I'm wrong though as light N winds will allow plenty of our breaks go off in style and I'm gagging for another good surf right now.

Keep an eye on those buoys boys & girls.
