I notice that there was a gust of 88mph reported by a private AWS at
St Martins in the early hours. See live data at:

84mph at John Chappell's Land's End site.

Also - swell at Sevenstones:-

08:00 22'
09:00 26'
10:00 29'
11:00 35' !!

There was flooding at St Ives this morning with the wind offshore & a
fairly typical rough sea. Looks like it could be worse for tonights
tide (around 19:00) with the wind more onshore, and the pressure still
very low & such a huge swell.
