I predict

Postby northswell » Thu Mar 15, 2007 11:20 pm

A huge Swell in the South West so anyone with any plans should head West, best breaks anywhere its al going to be firing, mid week looks particulary good so if you can drop everything and head West. South Coast looks good, as do any North Facing breaks. Get on it.







Ha Ha Its gonna be big babey. oh and i mean proper surfable big, hahahahahahahhahahhahahahahahaahhahahahahhhahahahahhahahahahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahacan't say where tho

I'll be on the East Coast Sunday morning and Monday, just trying to decide if I should go 'Lincs' check out Skeg, or do the usual 'Cayton' trip? Guess it'll be good at South Bay. Skeg's looking looking good bang off shore with 9 - 10ft swell. May check it out spoilt for choice! :D

Personally N.S, 2 - 3ft is fine for me! Way overhead is good to watch and take pictures but I guess I'm just plain chicken s*#t! 4ft is about the largest I'm comfortable with.

Tomorrow should be fine, spoke to someone up there today and they said it was a couple of foot, so should pick up a bit more and the winds ok too. Enjoy

I wouldn't expect anything surfable until after the wind switches round to more northerly direction on monday morning, and then you'll deffo need to head for shelter cos its just gonna be a big onshore mess otherwise.

I cant quite work this out... Is this a wind up along the lines of 'we've got swell on the east coast, ha ha ha' or just a terrible piece of forecasting? :?

In the south west, its going to be a lumpy short period blown out mess for a few days, then go flat. South coast is going to be a bit of wind chop, then go flat quite quickly as the winds turn northerly.

And, not that I know the east coast, but it looks like its going to be big and blown out. Then small and blown out.

Oh, and cold too.

Am I missing something? Cant see the fun element...
