Cornwall (and just Cornwall as far as the SW is concerned) has a wind warning from 03:00 until 15:00 on Thursday.
If you look at the Penzance forecast it's not that windy until after the warning ends.

When I've raised this point before, I've been told the warning is for a big area, therefore the timing may well be out for the tip of Cornwall. In this case the warning (as far as SW England is concerned) is purely for Cornwall, so that excuse can't be used.

Obviously the warning is assuming a rather different track for that small, fast moving feature than the main forecast. But it must be very confusing to most people.

Big swell has now arrived. 20' forecast at Sennen for at least 12 hours from 3pm tomorrow, with strong off/along shore winds. It's set to be very rough at Porthleven. Sadly the the most spectacular conditions are forecast to be on tomorrow evening's high tide, when it's dark.

Talking of Porthleven, if you happen to visit don't miss the Waves gallery, some of the most amazing surf photos I've ever seen. Just sit back and watch the photos come, there are loads of them (you may have to close the odd advert) https://www.wavesgallery.co.uk/

It's been a great month to be an observer.

Oh yes, and it now looks like the Dawlish line is going to be moved out to sea, that should solve the problem. Also it won't affect the beach, even though the top part of the beach, which is already covered at high tide, will be under the railway line. https://www.devonlive.com/news/devon...h-rail-2225042

Nothing to do with sensible options costing more I'm sure.
