wave forecasts >> websites >> exciting!?!

all this week people involved surfing here down in the south west have been getting excited at the swell coming through from the atlantic ocean looking to reach our shore over the weekend.
swell is predicted using advanced computer models based on the wave/weather buoys anchored offshore. it makes a fantastic image regardless of the real function of the chart.

whatever actually happens this weekend (I think is will be a couple of very stormy wet blown-out days in all but the very sheltered spots, where it could be special) the better forecast sites like magic seaweed have been creating a feel good factor amongst the surf addicted students and staff and population in the area I live. it seems that it is all people are talking about.

off to france again >> hope its a good one

this will be the last post for a couple of weeks or so. I will update if I find a coffee shop with broadband but I will not be hunting one out. I am not taking a laptop, (and only going to turn my blackberry on for half an hour each evening).
I hope that you all have a stress free time and enjoy some summer weather that's what I will be trying to do.
I have just been checking what the surf/weather forecast for where I am going using magic seaweed, and found this picture taken by eothen which I thought would be good to add.
& don't worry I will be sure to have lots to say about the surf and the trip as well of course any design jewels I find along the way when I get back. see you all in a couple of weeks.
