Minimum of 7.2C last night, the 1st sub 10C min of the month. Feeling
much fresher this morning. Sunny intervals & a good deal of high
cloud, much clearer to the west. Goodbye warmth I fear.

Big swell on the north coast now http://www.surfchecklive.com/surfcheck-fistral.html
forecast to be 4m+ tomorrow.

(OT) but there was a large cliff collapse at Hell's Mouth (near
Godrevy) recently. Great video on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVjr4mii3cE
also recent pics on Cornwall CAM http://www.cornwallcam.co.uk/

Reminds me of a rather heated discussion with a spitgeologist/spit
some years ago on About.com regarding the excavation of the Grand
Canon. Why did you presume acliff collapse is OT?

A baby could see that it wasn't eroded. As you can see in the video,
it is a dry burst and a great deal of dry dust scoria was left on the
surface of the drop.

Obviously "mass wasting" takes place whenever a wash is flooded (as is
the normal pattern for "runoff" in the Grand Canon, feeding as it does
on the summer rains east of California.)

I'd like to know how a cliff face erodes due to water abrasion in time
to create a canon a mile high and a mile wide. If any thing at a mile
wide sedimet should be deposited.

What does the panel think?

Still managed a max of 16.0, with reasonable spells of sunshine, often
through thin high cloud. Wind increasing steadily this afternon. F2-3
mid morning, now (16:15) F4-5.

Occasional big wave sets, one coming into view at the top of
http://www.sennen-cove.com/todaysurf.htm

Last day to fail to reach 15C was 17th June (14.4). Looks like it will
be touch & go tomorrow.

Spectacular, and amazing luck for it to be caught on camera!

Apparently, it was filmed on camera by the man sent by the council to
inspect the cliff after a number of cracks had been reported!

It's a popular spot near the Hell's Mouth cafe, and a fine day, so
plenty of people probably saw it happen.

It's interesting watching the wave in the bottom left hand corner.
