How the hell do u read that? something about intense lows make big swells?
Posted: Thu Oct 13, 2005 7:14 amIntense low pressure sending us waves,
A little distance between the UK and the low pressure so it should clean up nicely,
A high pressure sitting over the UK meaning generally settled conditions and (hopefully) offshore breezes for the southwest, so the waves shouldnt get blown out.
Or to summarise...
With maybe a bit of...
...on the push.

Posted: Thu Oct 13, 2005 8:33 amawesome, sounds lyk ur headed 4 a few awesome sessions..
Posted: Thu Oct 13, 2005 11:00 amI think it works something like this:
Air moves from areas of high pressure towards areas of low pressure, which basically results in winds travelling clockwise around areas of low pressure and anti-clockwise around areas of high pressure.
The tighter together the lines (isobars) are the more intense the drop in pressure and the higher the winds.
The bigger the area of low pressure the longer distance these winds travel over the water (the fetch)- and we all know what wind over water does!!
So looking at this chart we have a large circle of tightly packed isobars which means strong winds basically dragging across most of the atlantic in the general direction of the UK. This will make heap big waves!
Then we look at the high pressure which is very loosely packed and over the UK so we should expect light winds blowing offshore.
Once you know all that, the picture looks a whole lot prettier!!

Other way round!
This shows whats happening around that gorgeous lovely intense low pressure and that quite frankly lovely high right now...

That's what I thought!! I actually went on Google to double check and found a diagram which showed it the wrong way round!!
Typical.
I thought it was the other way round, otherwise all the waves would be heading north of scotland!!
That'll teach me to trust what I read on the Internet!

Posted: Thu Oct 13, 2005 5:23 pmBit of confusion for the punters there between southern & northern hemispheres.
Not only does your water travel down plug holes the wrong way up there but lows rotate anti-clockwise & highs rotate clockwise.
Nuts. Just another reason to migrate :-))))
