Sunny periods & dry in Penzance today after 2.8mm overnight. Max 19.6
in a Force 4, occasionally 5, breeze.

The onshore wind created some very rippy conditions on the surfing
beaches, as the surface water blown in had to escape somewhere.
www.sennen-cove.com/todaysurf.htm shows the rip at Sennen, marked by
the just visible red flag and the bend in the waves. The lifeguards
doing a good job keeping the swimmers clear of it.

I expect some of the north coast beaches to be closed to swimmers
tomorrow, as the swell, around 4' in the photo foreground, has now
increased significantly, and is expected to be 8' - 10' tomorrow in
the far SW tomorrow. That could be dwarfed by the 'Bill' swell,
depending on it's track. Quite interesting after a summer dominated by
quite calm sea conditions.
