Default Inquiry regarding SW Cornwall coastal weather

Hello
Just desperately tring to find someone living in and around Helston/Porthleven or someone already analysing the weather in and around this area of Cornwall, who could update me if there is any chance of coastal flooding/ high tides/ storm surges/ extra big waves, especially on the southern coast of Cornwall. I need to conduct post-storm fieldwork at Loe Bar sometime in the next two months. Any help would be welcome!!!

Download freeware WXtide32 and run to produce tide tables for a suitable
port over whatever time period into the future you like, that at least is
very predictable.

Hi Lauren,

I'm in Penzance and I could talk for ever about sea conditions!

Email me from the link on http://www.turnstone-cottage.co.uk/c...mousehole.html
(it's my normal email address).

I can also put you in touch with someone at NCI (National
Coas****ch), and a couple of thers, who may well be offer some help
at the right time.

I'm not sure if I can arrange this http://www.turnstone-cottage.co.uk/PzStorm.PDF
but I'll try to arrange something. Also see

You may be picking a good time, the beach level is exceptionally high
at Porthleven/ Loe Bar at the moment, after such a benign winter wind
wise. Most of the larger waves have been constructive with the wind
tending offshore when the swells have arrived. They've had to remove
shingle at the bar, in order to allow the Pool to drain.

Things look more hopeful over the next month - from your perspective!

If you don't already know Magic Seaweed really is magic when it comes
to swell predictions. Porthleven forecast at http://magicseaweed.com/Porthleven-Surf-Report/1253/
You're really looking for something 20'+ with a strong onshore wind to
cause some decent erosion. Often particularly destructive after a
benign spell, due to a lack of low water sand bars caused by large
swells.

Good luck

Graham
Penzance
