Wait & wish

Monday 6th Jan Hercules                                                  Saturday 1st Feb take Two

 
Good day to all of you creatures of briny interests! It's a decidedly overcast day here in the Channel Islands with the temperature's billowing in at 8 Celsius and no wind as yet.  After the psycho storms of late, this morning things suddenly went quiet, but not for long as another storm is developing out in the Atlantic just in time for the weekend and it is sure to trigger another round of Wave Sailing VS Mother Nature. The met office said something about a 'disturbed sou'westerly airstream' and 'gale force winds' for Friday and Saturday, with the forecast looking this good we are hoping for a big one. Big tides are not uncommon around here (10.1 on Saturday), but with the combination of the wind behind it we could get a battering. 
 With the Swell and wind from the recent lows fading, it is soon replaced by a new west swell so here's a few pics of wind and swells of past just to get in the mood for the next session.



 
 

Fingers crossed the isobars hold up. Roll on another SW storm so we can get in the waves again..
