.... If you want to keep an eye on developments in the SW approaches,
then this buoy (62029) is useful:

located at: 48.7N 12.4W, it appears to be in line with the expected
track of the development now gathering pace.

Irritatingly, K1 doesn't give wave height, but the event's all too
short lived to give much of a swell, depressions need to sit in Biscay
for a while, then edge northwards for the big stuff.

Just a typical winter 12' or so forecast for the tip of Cornwall.
However 18' forecast for late Tuesday into Wednesday, both on
www.sennen-cove.com/surf.htm , and http://magicseaweed.com/UK-Ireland-MSW-Surf-Charts/1/

Mind you, we had a few 20' swells in mid summer 2008, and it's when it
hits 30' it gets exciting www.surfersvillage.com/surfing/20145/news.htm
