At 7.55 a.m:

Constantine (0*):  8 feet

And the south westerly wind continues to batter our coast while emptying another morning of torrential rain onto our windswept heads.
The surf is a blown out mess of mixed up madness again, a wild six to eight feet of chopped up frenzy.
It promises to be a great day for a post lunchtime pub session stroll to clear the cobwebs out but of little interest to anyone on a surfing mission.

Harlyn (3*):  4 to 5 feet.

The tide is just about full low right now and so those three to four feet and bigger walls of water are thwacking ashore with some weight.
Harlyn closes out and at some stages of the tide it closes out more than others, so right now some of those set waves are walling up from one side of the bay to the other before hollowing out onto almost dry sand.
Those odd ones that keep a delay are peeling into a frenzy though. They’re the ones to catch – if you can!
Anyway, it’s a thumping day at Harlyn Bay again today and it’s likely to get a bit busy too, so take it easy and have yourselves a heap of fun!
the wind should ease up this afternoon but it may be getting dark before we see the real benefits of that.

Surf Forecast for Tuesday 22nd December 2015

Hey, guess what!?
Yep, there’s going to be a howling south westerly wind pushing a six to eight foot swell our way!
Again.
So, four feet and draining Harlyn is all that we can expect again today!
We could get used to this and, well, we are!

Surf Conditions for the Start of the Week

As Christmas looms our way the weather and surf patterns are refusing to change their approach.
Those keen south westerly winds look ready to continue to blow that mild, damp air our way, pushing and shoving those atlantic waves into our bays and onto our beaches.
The surf is likely to stay in the ‘big’ range all week, getting really big through midweek, probably peaking again on Wednesday when even Harlyn will have some size to it.
And Harlyn is going to be the main option all week this week again, generally being in the three to four feet size range getting up to twice that during midweek.
Christmas is coming!
Have a great week, wherever you are and whatever you’re doing!
