I got caught up last winter when we were unable to dock at Dover and got
bashed around for nearly three hours, only three folks having lunch and as
much as you could eat!

Trouble was all the loos were engaged!

http://magicseaweed.com/UK-Ireland-MSW-Surf-Charts/1/doesn't indicate
anything too exciting in the Channel. Some interesting crossings to
Scilly coming up though, both on Wednesday & possibly more so on
Friday.

More likelihood of rough seas in the west and north-west I would
think. Lots of wind and lots of rain on them there Irish sea
crossings, headlands and upslopes. Perhaps squally in the Channel as
the main trough goes through, but probably a short lived period of
stronger winds during the day. You could get unlucky and some people
could see their lunch again (if you did get caught in stronger winds,
the unfortunate ones wouldn't be trying dinner; I know my wife
wouldn't!) - but then again, the odds are probably against that.
