Default Another Spring Tide - another damaging swell?

Certainly looks that way. After the storm on the 3rd, 26' 14sec swell forecast for Sennen this evening. https://magicseaweed.com/Sennen-Surf-Report/4/

However, by 09:00 tomorrow, a much more powerful 19sec swell is forecast to arrive. However, assuming the timing is correct, at least the most powerful waves will not be high tide, as was the case on 3rd.

Huge amounts of sand still being moved around at Perranporth to protect properties after several feet of beach vanished on 3rd

Less than 2 hours after low tide (10:42 at Sennen)
You certainly wouldn't think so, the tide didn't bother to go out up much today. The sea will be up to the rocks by mid tide (13:50 ish)

Wave setup surges quite apparent if you watch the webcam for a while.

I'm surprised there are no north coast flood warnings yet. Locally there is plenty of precautionary action being taken, irrespective of the current lack of warning.

Also very windy now, recent 55kt gust at St Ives.

An exciting time is guaranteed for all, as Sgt Pepper would say.
