:( Yup, looking pretty much flat for Wales :(

Which is a shame - I was thinking of making a trip to deepest darkest pembrokeshire. But not a lot of point... :roll:

(*DBBB takes over the West forecast and leaves Northswell doing the east coast*)

Pretty much flat :(

There's a fairly good chance of a small wave on sunday. But even sunday could be flat. Difficult to tell yet. And either side of sunday will almost certainly be completely flat. This high pressure is forecast to last til the middle of next week. :roll:

Some of the best spots, on the pushing tide, will get a small but manageable wave on sunday (probably).

DBBB which part of the smoke do you live in?

If you fancied a trip to Pembs, surely you could do the East Coast in that time.

I was just looking at the charts thinking the same thing.... :lol:

Im right on the edge of london on the end of the M3, so a trip west is no problem, but going up north means best part of an hour and a half to get round london before the trip has even started :roll:

Still considering the idea though....

Was hoping to go to Newquay next week, leaving tues, staying till fri. Is there anyway of predicting if the surf will improve with a long range forecast or will it not be available until the weekend earliest? I am pretty much a beginner so not looking for any amazing waves!!
