Massive Atlantic Swell
It's important to remember that figures normally quoted for wave heights are significant wave heights. The biggest sets are typically 50% or more larger.
Yesterday evening at M6 to the west of Ireland the SWH was a very impressive 14m, the biggest swell 24m! That must look quite amazing, 24' is scary. The long period swell has now reached west Cornwall Currently a 7m swell at Sevenstones off Lands End, (up to 7.6m at one point) meaning the biggest waves are well 10m. I may be in luck with seeing a 30ft wave at Sennen. It may be totally blown out and just a white mess, but fingers crossed. MagicSeaweed giving a 5 star rating and a near 30' surfable wave forecast for the Cribbar Reef at Newquay. Graham Penzance |

Not a day to be caught out in it but there was plenty of warning -- I've got so many photos, I can't choose which to keep. One with a rainbow came out better than I expected. It's only when I got back in the car I realised how wet I'd got, all too exciting! I like this from the Minack Theatre today https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ElbXfjIW...g&name=900x900 Graham Penzance |

Sadly too windy in Cornwall for big wave surfing, though a few ventured out. Some pics from Cape Cornwall & Porthleven. https://www.cornwalllive.com/news/co...-waves-4654530 Very rough today but the swell height is around 35% of that on Wednesday, and much shorter period.

I’m on Tiree, and the waves in the distance looked like giant icebergs. Very impressive!

Even the lifeguard vehicle was nearly swamped. Those people in the foreground were lucky not to be sucked out. If you look at the sand where they were standing it was a mass a footprints prior to the wave, suggesting no previous wave had got that high, then suddenly . . . https://rnli.org/news-and-media/2020...ht-walkers-out Graham Penzance |
