Default Next Wednesday predicted huge swell analysis

Rather a good simple analysis at http://magicseaweed.com/news/black-w...atlantic/7017/ (you may have to click the 'more' button to read the article)

For the outer Hebrides surfing beaches the predictions have been progressively rising and are now showing a primary swell of 50' with the surf height of around 40'. The strength of the wind causing the surf to be blown out and limiting it's height.

Down in Portugal the primary swell might be a fair bit less at around 15' at the best spots, but, with far less wind the surf height will exceed this and probably exceed 20' at times.

Inbetween, in Cornwall (Sennen) the primary swell peaks at an unexceptional 17', but made much more notable because of a 21 second period. (The predicted surf height is similar.)

Exciting times for those interested in the sea.
