I missed it but yesterday at about mid-day Aberaeron saw what is believed to be a meteotsunami, thé water level rose over 1 meter and then dropped again over the space of 5 minutes.
Apparently Solva experienced something similar about a month ago.

That's why at Aberaeron the moorings at the opposite end of the harbour from the entrance are usually the only ones available. When this happens, those boats moored there end up on the rocks
And yes, happened at Solva about a month ago
