I haven't even looked but by the state of my back garden today I'd say it was about a force 8 easterly. Well, stuff isflying about all over the place out there so it is windy. So there may well be a hell of a swell.

... and we all know that easterly winds tend to give pants viz all the way up and down the channel! Even north-easterly (I've seen that on some forecasts) is v bad news.

I've just been to town and had a look at the seafront. Oh dear. A lot of the beach is now in the town centre, there are dirty great waves and I still have some sand in my teeth.
