At 6.55 a.m:    Constantine (0*):  4 to 6 feet Hard bursts of torrential rain are riding in on another strong blowing and blustery sou’ westerly, the sky and land merging into a grey blanket of dreary dampness this morning. And yet it’s mild and somehow quite pleasant in amongst it all! The surf has […]

At 6.55 a.m:   Constantine (0*):  4 to 5 feet   It’s still blowing out there this morning, that blustery south westerly bending and shaking the trees and hedges but the sky is quickly brightening and the air temperature is relatively okay for mid September. The surf has dropped though, leaving three or four feet […]

At 6.55 a.m:   Constantine (0*):  6 to 8 feet   The wind is blowing in hard this morning although it has lost a lot of its anger from last night. But a frisky sou’ wester continues to blow in hard this morning bending the fruit-laden trees and shrubs and shaking the hedgerows while it […]

At 7.15 a.m:   Constantine (1*):  2 to 3 feet It’s a Sunday. A proper, breezy, rain threatening but already brightening, heavy cloud laden, dull but promising, cosy kind of Sunday morning. And the surf isn’t all that either, well not just yet. Three feet or so of windwashed slop is bouncing into the bay […]

At 7.20 a.m:   Constantine (2*):  2 to 3 feet It’s a lovely Saturday morning on this little stretch of the rugged coastline that is North Cornwall, the sky is that milky pale blue, the sun is happily beaming down on us and the air is almost still. Almost still but not quite. A superlight […]

At 6.55 a.m:   Constantine (2*):  3 feet There’s a blustery west wind blowing through this morning, the sky weighing down on us with a heavy grey bundle of clouds threatening some damp stuff sooner or later. Three feet or so of not quite as choppy surf as you might expect is rolling up the […]

At 6.50 a.m:   Constantine (2*):  2 to 3 feet Bright blue skies are breaking up streaming ribbons of cloud on this crisper and chillier morning, the breeze slipping in from the north west, keeping air temperatures down while just reminding us that Autumn is knocking on the door. But the sunshine looks promising and […]

At 6.55 a.m:   Constantine (3*):  2 to 3 feet A silver blanket of cloud is snuggled over us this morning, the air almost still, the lightest of breezes drifting offshore from the north east. And so the two to three feet of quite close together swell is being groomed quite nicely although that big […]

At 7.05 a.m:   Constantine (0*):  3 to 4 feet   A windswept, drizzly and mizzly old morning is not doing much to cheer anyone this morning and yet it is a strangely cosy and comfy kind of start to the day. The wind is blustering in from the south west, bundling a wall of […]

At 7.05 a.m:   Constantine (2*):  4 to 5 feet   So far it’s a bright and cheery dawn that is waking us up this morning with a steady breeze drifting across from the west sou’ west, just strong enough to tumble the four feet or so of rolling surf. The tide is dropping out […]
