Porth Neigwl (Hell's Mouth) Surf Report: Thursday, October 3rd. There was a light, offshore, NE breeze again at first light. Lined up waves were waist high up to full tide.
High Tide: 3.10.24. 9.00 4.44m
The rest of today: The wind is forecast to continue offshore and light to moderate. The surf should drop fairly quickly with low water.
We have a full size break of the incredible 5/4 mm RIP CURL Hooded, Chest Zip wetsuit. Soooo flexible for a full on winter wetsuit
Outlook: This swell is now fading. The remains of tropical storm Isaac is forecast to be absorbed into the general, complex, multi-centre depression that is expanding in the North Atlantic. The jet stream is still running to the south of the UK and most forecast models have this deepening system caught up in the flow and moving southeast to the west of Ireland. It looks like it should assume a better shape on day 3 so bigger waves are likely by late weekend/early next week. In the meantime we will have a veering local breeze to possibly go as far as southerly here by Saturday. This is forecast strong enough to generate a short, local sea by later tomorrow and possibly a bigger version on Saturday. There is the forecast of an easterly after the weekend so that is worth watching to see if it happens.
