14.7.26 No report Wednesday and Sunday.
This surf report may finish soon as it relies on website sales to keep going, please consider us when next buying online.
Remember: A veering wind clocks clockwise (eg: west veering northwest or east veering southerly) and a backing wind clocks anticlockwise (eg: west backing southwest or south backing southeast). Also, there is no such word as 'forecasted' in the UK (probably some hick Americanism). The past, present and future tense of 'forecast' is 'forecast'. Thank you.
Wind Strength (simplified): Light <7mph, Moderate <18mph, Fresh <29mph, Strong <38mph, Gale <46mph, Severe Gale <54mph, Storm <72mph.
Porth Neigwl (Hell's Mouth) Surf Report: Tuesday, July 14th. There was a light to moderate northeasterly before breakfast. It was flat as the tide filled.
High Tide: 14.7.26 8.20 4.7 m
The NEW LIVE Webcam is too expensive to maintain and is too much trouble.
The rest of today: The wind is forecast to freshen from the north again this afternoon but we may see the breeze drop away again here despite the forecast. I do not expect any significant increase in surf.
Outlook: The lack of Atlantic jet stream and associated depressions is not good for surf for the next couple of days. I am watching a southern hemisphere swell as it travels past the Canaries and also the wind around a slack depression west of Biscay. Neither have much size or strength and I doubt we will see much from them.
