SOUTH WEST AND WALES (and south western ireland)

The wave size may slack off a bit between now and Sunday morning but there will still be totally maxed out and exeptional waves in the south west all this weekend. Go to the coast for a look at the power of the sea, but look up the river estuaries at the beaches that are always flat and you might just find a long peeling wave running along the shore that will give you the ride of your life. Unfortunately the falling tides in the morning will not be good for this, but the Sunday afternoon push should see rideable waves at some very unusual places. If you are a big wave expert and have the kit and the bottle, watch closely late on Sunday and Monday. If the intense low tracks as predicted to the southern edge of the channel the winds could go offshore south easterly for a while and blow the new enormous swell hollow and terrifying. The offshore winds may make it look easier but do not think about going out unless you really do know what you are doing and can take the wipeouts. Watch an outside wave break and then hold your breath as it rolls all the way to the beach and dies if you want to get an idea of what it might be like.
