Less of a swell, more confused sharp multi-directional waves.
Driven I think by ebb current countered by NW winds.
People consider Start Point to be wary of but generally I've found the seas between Prawle and Salcombe to be worse.

Agreed - swell was the wrong word, definitely a confused, sharp chop!

I might be passing it again this Summer.
