High Tide today is at 12.45pm (3.7m)

Surf Forecast For the rest of the day:
Gale force winds and a building swell so, storm surf conditions are expected this afternoon.

Outlook For Surf:
Storm surf conditions on Wednesday, onshore gales and a very big swell. More of the same on Thursday. Swell moderating a bit on Friday, but still rather large and very messy. By the way, quite a few people are being confused by the Magic Seaweed 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 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 and dangerous. The Magic Seaweed site has more info on their stars. They can be useful, but only when used in the correct way ...Our hire rates remain at £5 per day for a suit and £5 per day for a board...
