Outlook By SurfHog:
The week ahead, dare I say it looks offshore all week for the main beaches of the north coast for a second week with S/SE winds all week. Size wise the north coast is looking around head high all week, biggest Tuesday afternoon/Wednesday morning, it you've got the time, the daylights just about back for dawnies and post work sessions, it's a week to get on it for sure.

Sevenstones Wave Buoy graph
This wave buoy is the nearest to Lands End and gives a good indication of the swell approaching the north coast of Cornwall. The reported swell height is the averaged for the last 1 hour period, the wave which hits the shore is generally a half to a third of the the height of the reported swell when the swell period is below 9 seconds, above 10 seconds, especially if the wind is light, the wave height at the shore can be 80-100% of the swell height, which is when you know you're onto a winner! Certain beaches pickup swells better than others, so heading down and having a look is always the best option.

Other Useful Surf Condition resources
Scripps Atlantic wave height / period animations
The wave charts for the North Atlantic produced by the Scripps Institute are one of the most accurate predictions of open ocean wave conditions, and hence are a great guide for coastal surf prediction. The following are links to the Scripps 5 day animations for wave height and wave period.
Met Office Atlantic pressure charts
If your old school there's nothing like looking at some pressure charts tracking the lows and highs and working out the likely surf conditions for yourself. The Met Office charts provide one of those resources.

Magicseaweed UK wave predictions
These guys are takeing information from both the Met Office near shore wave predication models and the various NWW3 wave models and creating their own wave animations, and surf reports based on these. While computer models are never as good as local knowledge, again they provide a great guide.
Heres the local Gwithian / Godrevy forecast.
