I see you (and quite a few others) completely ignored the advice
to stay away from the sea in such conditions.
And a good job too, if everybody did as they were told we'd

Sennen harbour an hour or so before high tide http://www.sennen-cove.com/today2.htm All boats removed from the slip.

Fistral Blue, the main cafe/bar/restaurant at Newquay's Fistral beach, has partially slipped into the sea (possibly more of it by now!) This is a building that has happily survived swells that have made the Cribbar http://www.newquaysurfer.org/2011/12...ibbar-30thoct/ world famous.

Please let the Watering Hole still be there!


Why are the tides so high at this time of year (leaving aside the

equinoxes?
