I would have thought it's too fast moving, as well as not being much of a feature until it gets here (and even then not that deep) to have much effect.. Also, as far as the south coast of England is concerned, the strongest winds will be offshore.

On the north Cornish coast, where the strongest onshore winds could well be, the late development of the feature means no big swell. In fact not much swell at all - http://magicseaweed.com/UK-Ireland-M...ts/1/?size=940 . 10' wind wave forecast for Sennen, it topped 30' of real swell on 8th February, 38' at Sevenstones.

That was the event of the winter by a big margin http://www.sennen-cove.com/8feb16.htm
