Not seen such an area with 40' swell (SWH!) for a long while.
Go to 6pm Tuesday. http://magicseaweed.com/UK-Ireland-MSW-Surf-Charts/1/
It's been building with each model run.

It is the normal area to be affected, in 2014 it kept slamming into SW Ireland & Cornwall. This year we've been getting consistent big clean swells but little wind, which is still bringing large numbers of surfers down. The Little Bo Cafe at Sennen (highly recommended) was packed when I went recently.

Oh, Norman mentioned Christmas Isobars elsewhere. There used to The Isobar Club in St Ives, now closed, probably moved to Scotland.

Just typical, about 5 minutes after I'd posted, the latest run has significantly reduced the area 40'!

Ah well, back to Norman's Christmas storm.
