After a Max of 19.6C yesterday, and a chilly minimum of 8.8C last
night, todays max has been held down slightly at 18.8C, as yesterdays
near calm conditions have been replaced by a Force 3 onshore SE. Also
yesterday's glassy sea conditions in the bay, have been replace by
rather choppy conditions, with a few white horses.

Swells back www.sennen-cove.com/todaysurf.htm . Wave period supposed
to be 9-10secs, but it seems a long wavelength for that. Good clean
surfing conditions on north & west facing beaches with an offshore
breeze.

After a cloudless morning, a little stratocumulus running westwards
just off the south coast, visible on www.metoffice.gov.uk/satpics/latest_uk_vis.html
(15:00 image) Not affecting the land, apart from possibly the Lizard.

Latest numerical wave model analysis for the area shows two swells. One
of abut 2.5 feet from 270 deg with a period of 9 sec and a second one
of about 1.5 feet from 300 deg with a period of 11 sec. That may not
match reality :-)

The latest conditions on http://magicseaweed.com/Sennen-Gwenvor-Surf-Report/4/
show an 11 secs 5' swell for Sennen. I think 5' is pushing it a bit.

The swell direction is perfect for Sennen, and the off-shore wind
means that the height of the wave when it breaks on a few well placed
sand bars could well be than the open sea swell height.

Same here Graham. Yesterday the sea was flat, glassy calm but today there
was a 2-3 feet swell with white horses further out in the bay. Still managed
a fairly comfortable swim despite the coolish breeze (sea temp around
16.5°C).

Seems very busy around here for this time in September, lots of
holiday-makers appear to have come down for the weekend.

Cloudless skies all day and a max of 19.6°C (tempered somewhat by the SE
breeze) after a pretty chilly overnight low of 7.2°C.

First day of unbroken sunshine since July 27th. Over 82 hours of sun now for
September.

The sunshine recorded has just switched off at 18:59 after a gloriously
sunny day here. A total of 11.6 hours of sunshine which is 94% of the
possible bringing the total up to 83 hours for September.

If this continues then the sunshine this month should easily beat the paltry
120 hours recorded for August.
