One of the sites that I use thats pretty reliable says this for the weekend.

North wales: 0-1ft Ok Wind
Croyde: 1-2ft Ok Wind
Cornwall;1ft Ok Wind
East Coast; Around the 1ft mark again!

However....
From the wave model Swell animations it looks like theres a rather large swell due to hit on the back end of the weekend. More than likely it'll just be around the southern cornwall area. Possibly and I stress "possibly" creeping up to Devon.

Problem with my forecasting skills however.... i'm usually wrong!

Will be able to give you a better idea tomorrow.

Have a look and see what you think;

There was some here for a couple of hours today.... Then the wind picked up as well, so I decided to knock off work, go for a surf / windsurf and then go do a lawn-mowing job.....

Unfortunately in during my drive home, the wind disappeared, the surf dropped and it started pouring with rain. So not only could I not go out to play, but I couldn't do the work I'd rescheduled either.... 'The best laid plans' and all that!!!
