That was my concern
I am hoping the surf forecast for this end is right from that site I posted link to . 2ft surf and the wavebouy in the channel reading just over 3ft swell .

If its that bad then I guess the Fowey estuary isn't too far or even Saltash and the tamar . Just as well stay here

swell direction is a smidge south of west.

pentewan is still sheltered from that direction.

not sure how much the swell can refract round corners but not enough to ruin the weekend i think (i hope)

i have launched the sib off the beach in big waters and if you get the timing right it is fine but you might get a bit wet!!

Pentewan will be in the lee of the Nare if the swell is West to Sou,Westerly. Any more South than that and it'll slam in there. The Lizard should also take a bit of the sting out of it. Sou' East would be the worst.

Alice · 29 May 2006, 22:03

It's looking on Shag. We've had a great weekend, 5 boats tearing around St Austell Bay and the Fal. The pics and vids will be posted when the guys start arriving home.

roycruse · 30 May 2006, 08:38

OK this trip is definately on for this weekend - out saturday and back sunday.

I shal be ringing about campsite and moorings this morning and will post later on with details.

Im assuming about 3 or 4 boats and 5 or 6 tents all going from falmouth or penzance.

Because of the nice weather - i think i favour doing a very early start from falmouth and taking in the breath taking lizard peninsula on route.

Its possible i will have a full boat.

Can everyone else post here if they are coming ASAP so I can confirm numbers with campsite and mooring bookings. I need to know how many on each boat and how many tents.

Lets just hope we can get some pitches.

randski · 30 May 2006, 09:15

Roy
1 boat
2 people
1 tent

roycruse · 30 May 2006, 09:32

camping and moorings on bryher are on a just turn up basis as they have plenty of room.

I will be bringing 3 or 4 adults and 4 kids so have a full boat already.

ian did I hear you say you were going out with alice (on the boat to the scillies as oposed to on a date)

p.s. thanks again to chris and esther for feeding the 5 thousand at the beach bbq on molunan beach after we all turned up with no food on monday
