[Snow]

Anybody know any good surf spots for this weekend (2nd Apr)? I'm living in Reading and prepared to travel 3 hours drive, so thinking Wales/Devon?

Thats bad news, Im not sure I can wangle anymore sick days this year....

i would say its going to be flat this weekend maybe a small 1-2ft ish wave if your lucky at that

tuesday and wensday are looking to be the best days next week but with moderate onshore winds

Yep, Phils right, we're inbetween systems at the moment. The one currently approaching from the NW won't be picking up any speed will monday and so with it not directly in the channels swell window we won't see anythign from it till Tuesday earlyest judging by current forecast models

Ireland will tho, the buggers!

This is a very simple site...
www.surfsystem.co.uk
But it gives the forecast nice and early in the week (usually) so you can plan your sick days
It also gives you a good list of some of the better know ( = crowded) breaks.

If you want to learn how to forecast yourself (you do, trust me, so you may as well start now) then this site gives you all the pressure charts, wind direction forecasts etc etc.
