i'll be amazed if that beach is fishable tuesday with yet more high winds between now and then some hitting f6-7 sw,it would need a change to nw through to ne to tame that swell and that would take a minimum of 24hrs+ |

Hard to imagine the scale of those waves unless you have been to Chesil (which I haven't)... but it does look awesome from the photos.... can't beat a good storm beach for pure majesty of nature

Good luck Rich ;D
It's amazing how far the undertow pulls back when it's like that, similar on some of the IOW back beaches. If you can manage a 40 yard cast, you can't even be sure that it's under water when the waves drop back.

Fished there with Daz a few years ago and we lost stacks of gear as we couldnt keep our lines high enough to stay out of the undertow. Never fished abeach where that happens before |

With the undertow like that, you would be lucky to land a fish! Good luck if you try!
