Thunder, Lightning and Big Surf: Danger Bay set to go off

Here is another excellent Slide Cover That Never Made It. It might just be appropriate given the swell predicted for the weekend. Last night Magic Seaweed was showing a little blip way out in the Atlantic that its charts translated into 31ft for Sennen Cove, complete with thunder and lightning. This had morphed post-surf in the car park today into 40ft in some quarters (Harry and his mates), but having just checked Magic Seaweed again (nice new site design) the swell seems to have dropped to a mere 24ft for Saturday, rising to 27ft for Sunday.

Well, whether it's 31, 40 or 24ft, and albeit that that's the measurement on the buoys, there's some serious swell on the way. It'll be accompanied by a hefty onshore wind so lateral thinking will be required to work out which spots will be working.

My money's on Danger Bay, and I am just about to go and play football with one of its pioneers. Talking of betting, did anyone know that at Paddy Power you can get 40-1 for Amy Winehouse to appear in the next Bond movie? And 1-2  on for her to go to rehab? But, at 50-1 for her "to do a Britney and shave all her hair off", the price ain't right. There's more chance of being hit by lightning this weekend at Danger Bay.

Isn't there?
