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.

No not round the Isle of Man, there's not enough fetch on the sea for
the waves like that to build up.

We've certainly had similar wind speeds on several occasions though, not
to mention rainfall. In this SE/SW centric group it's never noticed,
reading this place you'd think the world revolves round SE London, Devon
and Cornwall. Hence my impatience with people calling this winter
boring.
