Unliked the well hyped St Jude's storm (yes I know it was a decent gale
in some places, but not here) we now have a real gale anywhere a bit
exposed.

Currently gusting 45-50mph in sheltered Penzance, the same as it peaked
over the nearby moors during St Jude (E.g. peak gust of 44kt at
Bosullow). Recent gusts close to 70mph om St. Mary's.

Sea conditions are very very poor,if you look at

breakwater disappears at times.

Yes, I see what you mean.

Over in Wales, Mumbles have recently reported a gust of 73 knots.
