    MSW for swell direction and size and windguru for wind. Then its a case of knowing how those affect your local break ;)

    Tis on the ball at the minute. Will most likely be blown out for the weekend alright.

    Its impossible to give an accurate predicition for the weekend. Weather systems are constantly changing and moving so Off shore can quickly become onshores........


    try windguru.com. I think its way more accurate.

    a good stuff. Ill should be able to get out for a lesson then.
    I need to learn how to read these websites, (and tide reports for that matter, more than once Ive arrived down to be told the tide wont be back in for the day!)

    Thanks guys

    I bought a tide book,most local seaside/fishing tackle shops will have them.Avery day and tide height for the year.
    Cost like €1,its well handy.
    As for swell height and wind,MSW with a pinch of salt and i keep an eye on the weather forecast on TV to see winds and stuff.

    Windguru is good though,the proper subscribed one is very informative but probably more geared to windsurfers/kitesurfers.:pac:
