Not the best place to put an ex-hurricane! Looks like the weather could get a little bit interesting for those of you in the south west UK or ireland. :shock:


That should hopefully send some swell up the channel though :D

It's worth pointing out that the models have been really confused by Gordon and are only just beginning to work themselves out. :roll:

I doubt the forecast is going to remain the same. But it is looking like there should be swell around and some top waves if you pick the right moment :D
