Sustained 47+ knots (Strong Gale 9 to Storm 10) gusting 63+ knots (Violent Storm 11 to Hurricane 12).

Should I go out on my 6m or should I stay at home with my wife and make the next year's supply of tomato chilli pesto?

Decisions decisions. :lol:

Weird, beeb currently showing 17mph for Camber on Sunday. Different story with windguru though! Looks like it will be the 12m again... :)

The beeb luvvies are still at the Brighton love-in. :wink:

Have a look at XC Weather which I generally find to be the most reliable UK south coast forecaster.

Saunton on Friday looks good, Sunday looks crazy and the wind direction is not good.

it's the usual "should have been here yesterday"!

South coast tomorrow ?
