  • Stormy Porthleven 20/12/15

    By

    The waves today were 11-18 feet in Porthleven, thankfully the tide was only 4.9 metres high so nothing quite as bad as Feb 2014. Still loads of people getting soaked walking along the harbour front. It’s probably more dangerous this size as it takes you by surprise so be careful if you are in Porthleven over the next week, It’s looking pretty big swells for the week ahead and the tides are a bit bigger too. Keep safe everyone.

    Monday high tide 12:53pm

    Tuesday high tide 2:04pm

    Wednesday high tide 3:05pm

    Thursday high tide 3:59pm

    Christmas Day high tide 4:48pm

    s8This was Feb 2014. A lot bigger than today but It’s still huge and dangerous at the size it was today. Take care everyone.

  • Praa shorebreak

    By

    DSC_1319[1]Hope you are all managing to get out and watch a few sunsets lately, there have been some amazing ones but I’m always in the wrong spot, like shopping at tesco and the sky was the most amazing I’ve seen it all year haha! I managed to get out for an hour this evening though and scored this little sunset shorebreak with the flash. Hope you like it.

    This one shows although it was small I was pretty much lying on boulders to get these shots. Pretty saw place to be lying down taking photos. It’s always worth it though when you get a good one.
