    Not sure what I'm up to yet. I was thinking local on 24th but the winds have gone poop.

    Day after Boxing Day possibly....

    Anybody got any thoughts for tomorrow morning? I'm not actually sure anything's an option with these 50mph gusts. Sad

    Looks to be some tricky winds right into new year at the moment.

    Gotta do first thing if at all. That's the spot for low too but all depends on there being enough swell. I'll be amazed if I get in to be honest but it's only 15mins away.

    Pentewan looked great when I arrived, then the wind kicked up a gear and flattened it out!

    Had a look at Charlestown after. Not on but a nice rainbow to ease the frustration.

    I did just glimpse a place I've had some suspicions about fora while and it looks like it does break. Smile Couldn't get a proper look though as the access is completely flooded.

    Anyway, North Coast shelter tomorrow. Who's up for it?

    Well Harlyn was a dump-fest! Not enough to get in where the goodness happens Sad

    You'd never believe it reading Des' appraisal though:

    Oooh yeah, that'll do! Three feet, maybe just a fraction bigger on the sets, of hollow glass is rolling in, all crunchy and tubing and as snappy as! There's half dozen out already in that grey half light of mid Winter, enjoying the (relatively) peaky and peeling conditions.

    Bless him...

    Anyway, there's been some chit-chat about north coast shelter or south coast shelter for tomorrow. Personally, I gonna opt for the latter as the swell looks to be really south and big with WSW winds. Given that, I'll get to Pentewan around 7.30 and will see wasson.

    G

    PS Any early eyeballs from people would be a really big help.

    Twas thinking Pentewan tomorrow but winds look much lighter after 9am ish so was heading then? High tide at about 5.50 so later the better as well.

    I reckon it might just be pretty good there tomorrow.

    Always a chance relying on low. If the point doesn't work then you're stuffed. Those banks we we getting tubed on will be working on a higher tide with more swell hopefully, so I'm after that. Hopefully the point will kick in after that.

    Winds are under 30mph all the way so I'm not worrying about any of that business. Gonna be entering midtide range at 0730.

    Right, 7.30am at Pentewan then. I reckon Portmellon might even have a decent wave.
