Yesterday, we had a RED flood warning for Mounts Bay. It was never that windy, the sea was nothing out of the ordinary.

Even out at Sevenstones
5' on the morning high tide
7' on the eve high tide
If anything below average for the time of yes and sea conditions were certainly better than earlier in the week when the swell height was 12' at times.

At no point was a big swell forecast, jut some fairly typical rough sea associated with the wind as the front went through

Wind wise the maximum gust in Penzance (in the heart of the red warning area) was just 29mph, and by late afternoon it was just a F2-3 onshore breeze in sunshine and fairly gentle sea. You could have an ice cream on the prom

Warning downgraded to orange for today. Swell height was around 16' at Sevenstones at high tide, the S wind straight into Mount's Bay gusted to 69mph at Lands End, the sea in the Bay is very rough & the prom strewn with debris (weed, pebbles & sadly the usual plastic).
Minack, well after high tide

As the wind's set to increase again this afternoon, with a much more powerful swell due to arrive, the iffist high tide is still to come.

For what it's worth I think today warrants some sort of warning (orange is fine) but yesterday was a fairly average day in all respects very pleasant in the afternoon. The only thing of note being a spell of very heavy rain mid morning.
