Long sunny periods here this morning, wisps of cirrus. Cumulus
developed quite early inland, but west of Camborne/Redruth have
virtually all gone again now.

Some sc lapping onto the north coast, with temperature generally near
18C. Here in Penzance now up to a very pleasant 21.6C. No hot weather
here so far this spell, just pleasantly warm. There's been no real
easterly drift to bring the hot air down, as there was at the start of
June, when it got above 23C and temperatures were near record level on
Scilly.

Had to go to Helston this morning, and called in at Porthleven where
there was some superb clean surf which has finally arrived from the
mid Atlantic depression, mainly affecting the south coast. Waves 6' -
8' on the Porthleven reef and running along the sea wall, which is
occupied by tourists with cameras. Every so often a large wave
catches the end of the wall, and shoots 20'+ in the air. If anybody
gets washed off, it will of course be a 'freak wave' for the media.
The wave direction must be just right for convergence, because the
general swell is much less, even out at Sevenstones.
