Porth Neigwl (Hell's Mouth) Surf Report: Saturday, September 14th. There was a fresh, southwest, onshore wind at dawn. Choppy surf was thigh to waist high at full tide.
High Tide: 14.9.24. 7.00. 3.2m
The rest of today: The wind is forecast to remain fresh and possibly strong, southwesterly today. The surf may build further but remain a mess.
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: We have lost the polar flow and milder, Atlantic air is spilling in from the west. A cold front is forecast to edge southeast across the UK over the weekend with a strong, southwest wind ahead of it. There is not a long fetch but sufficient to generate a moderate sea I would think. Sunday should be a touch bigger than today then (the wind having blown for a longer time over a similar fetch) but it may remain a mess. There is a chance the cold front could clear south of us by dusk and the wind should fall light behind it. This leads us into a fairly windless Monday but the waves may also drop away overnight as they are fairly locally generated.
