At 7.15 a.m:
Constantine (1*): 8 to 10 feet
A dull, dark and dank morning is brooding over the coastline this morning, the sky filled with dampness but the breeze light and mild, the air filled with the roar of pounding surf.
Big waves are looping around and over the Quies on their way into the bays where a steady sou’ westerly breeze is quietly dumping them ashore.
It’s not a place to surf this morning maybe but it’s still attention grabbing.
Harlyn (3*): 4 to 8 feet
Big waves are thumping onto the hardened sand of Harlyn on the dropping tide this morning, six feet with much bigger sets, the breeze straight offshore, hollowing those watery caverns even more.
If you feel that your duckdiving technique needs a little sharpening then this place will test you today but you’re still not going to avoid a good old drubbing whatever your skill level!
Those occasional screaming hollow grinders that are spinning through every now and again will be well worth it though!
Today’s Tide Times:
Low Tide: 10:47 (1.2m) High Tide: 16:38 (7.4m)
Surf Forecast for Tuesday 8th November 2022
More strong south westerly winds along with that thumping six foot plus swell will herd us to the sheltered spots again, well, with the exception of those guys who are exploring the huge wave breaks of Europe with jetskis and tow ropes at the ready!
But for us mere mortals, it will be another ‘Harlyn or not-in’ kind of day.
Surf Conditions for the Start of the Week
Big waves and strong winds will continue to pound our coastline this week, strong sou’ westerlies driving milder temperatures our way, the looping jet stream dragging warm winds from way out there.
So Harlyn is going to continue to be the playground for most local surfers again this week with big waves swinging into the bay and being squeezed into looping, dumping, curling and reeling surf. Or if you’re feeling adventurous, this time of year is perfect to explore those lesser surfed spots that you might have only heard about but never seen, those tucked away places that need powerful swells to wake them up.
But wherever you do decide to surf there’ll be no shortage of surf, we’re in for big swells all week long!
Stay safe, stay happy, stay well and have a great week, wherever you are and whatever you’re doing!
