Default Tomorrow High Tide etc

This morning`s high tide just passed here at Sennen Cove
Glass around 970 ... tide maybe a metre above prediction (?) - certainly a
lot of water in the bay, even for a 19ft spring tide.
Sea swell in order of 16ft at present (Sevenstones) with wind westerly
recently to 60 mph.
Swell picking up considerably on buoys to west so this evening`s high water
may be interesting !

Latest on tomorrow morning's flooding risk in Cornwall.

"Cornwall's emergency planning officer Steve Winston said a
combination of factors could lead to a "severe" event.

In Cornwall the areas thought to be most at risk of flooding are
Newlyn, Falmouth, Flushing and Looe in the south and St Ives and Hayle
in the north.

Falmouth Coastguard said they will be going out with loud hailers
between 1700 and 1800 GMT in a number of areas in Cornwall including
Gweek and Penzance areas to warn people.

The MetO warning of gusts to 80mph (

) seems insignificant in comparison to what the sea might achieve over
the next 24 hours.
