At 6.35 a.m. on Friday 5th April 2024
Constantine (0*): 6 to 7 feet
Last night’s downpours have moved on, this afternoon’s yet to arrive, allowing for a moment or two for dryness on the windswept and chilly beach.
The surf is roaring in, pushed along by a blustering sou’ westerly, the sky as dark as Hades’, six feet plus of unrideable, slopped out surf doing its best to scour and clean down the bays.
It’s not the place for lingering, not today.
Harlyn (3*): 3 to 4 feet
Blustering gusts of wind are screeching offshore at Harlyn this morning, meeting three feet of erratic swell head on making for hollow close-outs a couple of hours ahead of low water.
It is a Harlyn kind of day today with a growing swell, not huge tides and offshore winds, going more southerly all day.
Most of those cavernous little waves are beach-wide close-outs but those odd peeling zippers should make it worthwhile!
Take it easy out there though, it could get big by this evening.
Today’s Tide Times:
Low Tide: 09:50 (1.7m) High Tide: 15:50 (6.1m)
Surf Forecast for Saturday 6th April 2024
You might just get an hour or two of big and classic conditions at first light today if you’re lucky, the south easterly wind quickly setting more south westerly though. And that wind will blow strongly as Storm Kathleen shuffles over us, pushing some big waves ahead of itself.
So Harlyn will be the main place again, with a lot of big old barrels expected throughout the day. The morning’s rising tide will offer the best conditions but it could just be a bit big if size is not your thing!
Surf Conditions for the Weekend
Another damp and windy, stormy weekend is promised again this weekend with Storm Kathleen kicking up her skirts and flinging a humping but windswept swell our way.
Ten to twelve feet of windblown storm surf will be trucking our way, the south westerly winds nudging storm force throughout the entire weekend. The winds won’t be as strong as they have been this winter but there will be enough to completely blow out the surf at all major surf breaks along the coastline.
And so Harlyn will be our surfing saviour once again this weekend, the waves getting big here, especially on the morning’s rising tide and becoming board snappingly dumpy, especially at low tide.
But there will be some cavernous tubes to be hidden in and that should make it all worthwhile!
Stay safe, stay happy, stay well and have the very best weekend, wherever you are and whatever you’re doing!
