Gust of 86mph at Land's End. Mean speed reached 67mph!

Wind WNW offshore here, but still a gust of 59mph, the strongest in a
W-NW wind since November 2009.

Given the time of high tides, I think 6pm is a strange time to remove
the warning. Significant (not maximum!) swell height now 30' at
Sevenstones. Easily the biggest since 2014.

Ho hum, welcome to winter 2015/16.

We've been having this sort of thing since November.

Well, not quite, the peak swell height reached 19m! at the wave hub yesterday, with a significant wave height near 35'

You don't 'often' get that sort of thing anywhere.

Sorry, not yesterday, Monday. Time goes so quick when you're having fun.
