Title: Can Grump Swim???
Post by: apc2010 on February 23, 2015, 01:27:04 PM
THE biggest waves in the world are forecast to hit Cornwall tomorrow (Tuesday February 24).

Surf forecast website www.stormsurf.com (http://www.stormsurf.com) has predicted swell between 34 and 40 feet to batter the coast, which could generate waves of up to 25 feet in Sennen.

According to the website’s forecast, these will be the largest waves recorded on the face of the Earth at that time with usual big wave spots such as Australia, Hawaii and Fiji falling short.

The swell tomorrow will also be accompanied by a larger than average six to seven metre tide on Cornwall’s North coast, rounding off the latest spring ‘supertide’ – which saw the lowest tide in 20 years throughout Cornwall.

Flood warnings have been issued by the Environment Agency today for Cornwall’s North and South coast. The Flood conditions could remain for two to four hours either side of high tide.

Seeing as I live on top of a bleedin' great hill if I do get flooded then the surrounding area will look like a modern Atlantis  lol:

Besides, Sennen is coast and I'm on the south coast  :thumbsup:

I'll have to give Cornwall another visit.  problem is my recall is it has 264 days a year when it's cold and wet and 100 days a year when its roads are over crowded with caravans and the like.  That leaves just one day and would I be lucky?   noooo:
