There's been a big Atlantic swell for quite a long time, but the last

Photo from yesterday afternoon at Sennen (12-15' or so), and the much
messier onshore but still fairly surfy conditions at Porthleven this
morning. http://www.turnstone-cottage.co.uk/Surf.html

Yesterdays particularly big & powerful swell has now hit Nazare.
Worth watching the webcam for a big set, the biggest waves are 30'

It's also been causing a bit of havoc in the Canary Islands.

Wow, that was impressive. There's a lot of power in the Atlantic at the moment.

There was supposed to be a big wave on the Cribbar reef (Newquay) today, but I don't think there has been (I may yet be proved wrong). The tides are all wrong, (low water Spring tide is best) and there's been too much wind to let it develop.
