Todays Porth Neigwl (Hell's Mouth) Surf Report: Friday 3/02/2012 9.00am Click 'Refresh' for the latest report (or click the Facebook button for instant surf and shop news - you do not need to be a member). The wind has veered into the south to south east and there are choppy, less than knee high, waves. .................. (please note we can't do surfboard hire when the wind is stronger than force 6 - fresh to strong. We do not let hire go after 1.00pm as all hire equipment needs to be returned by 4.30pm - unless you are having it for a few days).......................Don't forget that the tide plays an important role in wave quality and size at Porth Neigwl: Click here for details and info on how we measure the wave height.

High Tide today is at: 16.53 (3.4m).

Surf Forecast for the rest of the day: While the cross to onshore wind may pick up later I do not expect much of an incresae in wave size today.

Outlook For Surf:
A stronger onshore wind tomorrow should build a local sea and combine with some Atlantic swell. Obviously waves will be messy in the onshore wind. The current forecast has the local wind swinging north west on Sunday which would help to clean up any waves. . ........... Check out the new 'Flash Bomb' wetsuit by Rip Curl...By the way, if you have to use Magic Seaweed, don't be confused by the star system. The stars relate to the size and period of the swell, so often have little in common with the actual conditions on the beach - so always check the wind direction. There can be 3, 4 or 5 filled in stars and also a forecast for onshore gales, so the impression of epic conditions that the stars give, is rather misleading, as conditions could actually be unsurfable. Their computer model misses a lot of very surfable days here too. The Magic Seaweed site has more info on their stars. They can be useful, but only when used in the correct way ...We hire boards and wetsuits all year round - click here for more details...
