My record warmest September night occured 6th 2004, the same day as my
record September max. There was a minimum of 18.1, and a maximum of 27.0C.

Big wave yesterday afternoon

Bit here about yesterdays surf in the Cove Diary. Health & Safety enthusiasts
look away.

"It had been a bit of a surfer's day today. The waves were large and robust
and anyone who knew anything about what they were doing was out at North
Rocks earlier in the tide. By the time high water came along toward the end
of the afternoon the sea was a bit of a monster. It was banging up the cliffs
at Nanjulian, Aire Point and even North Rocks was getting a bit of a pasting.
Naturally there was a bit of a line up on the Harbour wall where the young
had gathered for their thumping off the wall. They were joined by one less
than young Welsh person who wanted to join in and be filmed doing it. I know
this because we sold him the wetsuit he did it in. It seemed to have survived
the fall quite well, although I could not vouch for the condition of the
Welsh person."

Yesterday evening a certain BBC weather presenter said there wasn't much of a
wave today, it would be bigger tomorrow because of the wind. Currently it's a
good deal smaller, messy & set to get blown out.

It was the lack of wind, and a larger swell, that allowed the waves to build
nicely yesterday.


Why don't you just say. The presenter was David Braine.

Hate PC. If you have something to say, say it.
