Glad to be inside ...

... just talking to a Torquay local and they said that winds of 80mph were recorded in the mouth of the Dart this morning. Webcam shows some pretty nasty stuff in the bay.

The Berry Head cam is a good video feed but at the moment the lens is streaming with water

It's been a little blustery, but settled down now. Had a brief wander down to seafront at Torquay earlier, but was nothing like as bad as I've seen before - wind at it's peek was from the South, so Torbay escaped the worst. That said, looked quite lively and not really ideal for a 15' open boat, so glad mine was at home! I'll see if I can upload a couple of pics from earlier...

Torquay at around 1pm

Froward Point a little earlier from NCI webcam! (You probably need to look at on a calm day with a boat for perspective, but those white horses are quite a bit bigger than they look!

Its been wild, my boat is in the marina at torquay, I am near budleigh salterton and the waves were coming right up to the sandstone cliffs on Tuesday, looking good now though, hopefully getting out for a couple of hours tomorrow

Hi Andrew, I can well imagine as Berry Head was similar. It's common on the other coast, but this side of Devon is usually pretty sheltered from the worst storms.

I won't share the picture below directly on here as it's copyright, but is publicly viewable on Chris' Facebook page via the link below without having to log in:

It shows seawater spray topping Berry Head and anyone who has been past on the water will have an idea what that takes!

Heavy showers again at the moment - hopefully better tomorrow...

We may be out on the look out for dolphins tomorrow....

Fingers crossed.
