Constantine:
A brighter and gentler morning with gaps of brightness between the silver cloud cover. The surf has dropped a lot, it's about three to four feet but the west sou' wester which has also weakened is still strong enough to be making it pretty sloppy and choppy. And the rips are really strong too. The weather is forecast to break down later and then improve by this evening, while the surf is set to continue to drop in size.

Harlyn:
It's a couple to maybe occasionally three feet and a bit crumbly and sloppy. And how busy was it around here the last couple of evenings! I guess that the high tide had corralled everyone to the back of the beach but the lineup was just packed to the rafters too. And so many people getting so stressy! Weird. But I guess that the weather has been so erratic that everyone flocked out at the same time when they had the chance. Anyway, there's two out this morning and enjoying the weak and crumbly fun waves. It should improve as the tide rolls back in this afternoon and the wind continues to lighten and shift more southerly.

Forecast for Thursday 21stAugust 2008:
Lighter winds, a slightly smaller swell and some bright sunshine, in between the wet bits. It looks like reasonable sized but sloppy and choppy Constantine versus real small but clean Harlyn. How unusual for this this summer.

Conditions for the rest of the week:
It's looking okay (for this summer) with continuing swell only gradually dropping in size along with lightening winds and......maybe a bit of sunshine! And Saturday is starting to look quite pleasant. But we'll believe it when we see it eh? The surf is likely to continue to be okay at best, maybe getting a bit attractive for a moment on Thursday and for another moment on Friday, looking quite pleasant for Saturday morning. Could it be that we may just yet get some real summer?

And check this one out (you'll have to go to our site if you're reading this on someone else's)! Trying to have a group snapshot with a couple of mates on a night out and what happens?:

We hope to be able to report on the actual surf conditions each or most mornings and try to predict the next day's conditions. If we don't then the conditions are that bad (or good?).

Our scale for measuring conditions is the universal one; 1ft (barely rideable - your choice), 2-3ft (hip to shoulder height when trimming across the wave), 3-4ft (head high and great), 4-5ft (that little bit bigger), 6ft (very rare - well overhead), 8ft (rarely gets bigger in this country but has been known), 10ft (very rarely rideable in this country only a few breaks can hold this size) 12ft + (get yer jet ski, yer big wave gun, kiss yer family and friends good-bye and head for the hills - but I've never seen it this big and rideable in this country)
