Outlook For Surf:
Small or very small waves are possible on Sunday and Monday....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 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 and dangerous. 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...
