Thats yorkshire. Its Eugene Tollmarche and was the 2nd feb 2008. biggest and best swell in a decade. Perfect up my way as well. Got one or two of the biggest waves i have ever surfed and without doubt the biggest, heaviest flogging i have ever had.

Its the only time i have surfed waves that i would call properly double + over head, only four of us out and watched Gabe Davies getting full hands in the air barrels. He had just returned from hawaii and said it was comparable to any session he had had there (it was a bad season in the pacific). There is some footage of the session on "rise"

I bought a 7` 4" a week later ready for the next big swell, this still stands unridden in my board rack two and a half years later. one day though.

Johnny - lets get involved on Thursday!

[Johnny Brown]

I'm heading down the Lleyn on weds. You're in the Pass over the bank holiday aren't you? I'll let you know if its any good.

[SA Chris]

Hope there are some gaps in the forecasted wind!

[Baron]

Yes please, it's our planned wet weather option!

Brown?

Good plan, Thursday promises a pumping swell that will deffo get into N. Wales spots but you'll need to find shelter from those SWerlies   10ft+ @ 11secs 

[Johnny Brown]

Sounds perfect for that place I'm probably not supposed to mention despite it being all over the web.

[granticus]

Yes indeed... But which one?  There's quite a few of those.. 

That little beach on an island, round the corner?

Down this way I was thinking somewhere beginning with M between Widemouth and Tintagel or another place in same the vicinity beginning with B or that place right round the corner in a County not associated with surf.. Or there's that place etc. etc. 

Forecast is shifty at the moment but it's definitely gonna be strong onshore, anywhere facing south or west will be mush, will the swell hold enough size to get in to sheltered spots?  Got a funny feeling we're all gonna get skunked.. Will report back Friday!!

Spent all day today waiting for climbing folk to find car keys and stuff! waited three hours.... thought the surf was gash, drove past three foot Tolcarne pumpin....
Whippsyderry also looked OK for On Shore Swell!!!
Bet its trash till mid Sept!!!

[granticus]

Spent the day DWSing at Berry Head    Surf looked poo this morning.

Looks like this swell is gonna miss N Devon (too much south in it ) but charts are looking super strong for N.Wales/  SW. Wales, wind direction looking perfect for you folks too!

Still a day for things to change again, come on storm track a little further bluddy north

[SA Chris]

Come on Danielle, show your dark side.

[Idol eyes]

Fistral three foot and offshore!

[Johnny Brown]

Same at Hell's Mouth... just need to get there now.

[granticus]

1 to 2 ft in N Devon, nice and clean but a pretty weak swell it is..

Low tide onwards could be promising though...

Tommorow is the day but south coast spots could be better..

[gme]

Three foot and clean here. Little head high barrels on my fav reef. Nice to feel a bit of juice.

[Idol eyes]

Synoptic forecast is 2.5mt on Saturday... Low is holding in the Bay of Biscay, so plenty of South in the swell
2.5mt+SW=6-8ft Praa!
Should wrap to N Spots....
I be going Porthcurno on the low...
hits Thursday eve and should be a three dayer!

[Adam Lincoln]

North Coast tail end of next week and into the weekend looking very very good!

[SA Chris]

Which North Coast?

[Adam Lincoln]

Which North Coast?

Cornwall/Devon North coast.

[granticus]

Swell is not showing at this end of the coast

Low is holding in the Bay of Biscay, so plenty of South in the swell

South coast spots will be going off, swell's got far too much south in it and is missing the bloody target up here. 

Might manage 2ft and clean later but if you're mobile head west and south my friends, expect Lev'll be heaving.  I gotta a fickin hospital appointment at 4 which kinda spoils things for me, will be heading into frontier land across the border into N Kernow once they're done poking my cheek (which is now sorted thanks for asking).  S. Coast tommorow though

There are some interesting developments in t'atlantic at the moment, we could be in for some treats in the coming weeks.

[SA Chris]

expect Lev'll be heaving. 

I was thinking that, in both senses of the word.

[Idol eyes]

Leven and two spots further round (East)... four to five and no wind...
Chapel cove and (?) Glassy and solid four!
North Coast... not good!
Going to bloody Tintagel bouldering... then going South Coast tonight for the dawnnie!

[granticus]

Croyde managed a pathetic 1ft and clean   

South Coast definitely having the better of this swell..  Did it make it up to the Lleyn?

Normality will be restored next week when we will score good waves on the N. Coast and the S will be onshore!!

[SA Chris]

Granticus, is this really Westward Ho?

I only drove by and had a brief look once (it was flat and I was supposed to be working), doesn't look right somehow. Longboard paradise in that pic if it is.
