Of course we don't you numpty!
Nice one! Cheers matey! Was a great session there the other day, you know surfers aren't as bad as everyone says. There was this one wave (it was MASSIVE) I started paddling for it way before everyone else (coz I was on a BIC and it takes a while to get up to speed) but without realising I'd dropped in on one of the locals - "SHIT" I thought, what do I do?! So I did like all of my Bangor Uni chums taught me to do and I shouted "PARTY WAVE!" Well anyway, he wasn't quite as good as your are Henry, and didn't know how to share the wave, he came straight at me! Luckily My BIC's dead big and stable and he just pinged off me into the white water and got dragged onto the rocks. He was ok about it though...next thing I see he's there, standing on the cliff (holding each half of his board) calling me onto waves! With his fist in the air like he really wanted a beginner like me to get the most from my day. Such kindness!
Hi Henry, thanks for PMing me where this place is! Do you think it's a bit steep for my BIC?
Sorry, forgot to answer your question, I haven't taken much notice of the nearshore data, but will do from now and see what I can take from it.
Hi Ben, Unfortunately my memory is starting to flounder regarding beach conditions last week, so can't say much about it now, although I did get 4/5 good days out between the Lleyn and Anglesey. I think the truth lies in the fact that MSW has never been spot-on with North Wales, and so people (well 'I') tended to reinterpret what you had on here, checked out other sources and then matched it with previous experiences i.e. there was still quite a lot of guess work and gut feeling involved. Whereas now that you're being a bit smarter - similar to my experience with the hi-res data - it's more difficult to second guess the data and make an accurate prediction.

No worries Ben. Thanks for taking my/our comments seriously. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!
Hi Ben, Thanks for your reply. I'm not going to pretend to understand how you calculate both high and low res data, but I can say that Hell's Mouth saw good clean rideable waves on both Saturday and Sunday (23+24/01/10) where the low res data picked it up, the high res data was far more pessimistic. This is not just my perception as I'm sure you can access your historical data and correlate it to both my experience and the local surf shop's surf report for that weekend below: Westcoastsurf.co.uk surf report - Thursday 28th Jan 1010 "Last week was amazing. Solid waves, sunshine and light wind combined to produce some epic waves. Saturday was smaller but still solid enough and beautifully clean. Sunday was a bit smaller and had a light north west chop on it. Monday was still good with glassy waves. Tuesday was a touch smaller but still ok and even wednesday morning was still fine..."
Have to agree. Anybody going by the High Res data would have completely missed out on 4 glassy days over here this week. Low Res was frequently more accurate here in North Wales.

Hello mate, sorry to bother you. Can i ask a favour. Magicseaweed have graciously offered a deal in order to allow Sqirl back on the threads. What is proposed is that 50 users email general@magicseaweed.com and ask for his return, he will then be reinstated with his profile. If you could do that/want him back then please do. One more thing, please don't mention this on the image or news threads as this will break the terms of the deal. Cheers!
