Breaking Wave Heights: Wednesday 4th Apr 2012
Praa is tricky to create a rule of thumb breaking wave forecast for because of the very subtle swell shadowing from the west. Large swells will wrap round but the current breaking wave height algorithm doesn't accurately call for this in every situation. We'll continue to monitor this, but do check the cam before you travel.
