Hhmm......the usual weather sites seem to agree on the weather forecast but are all giving completely different wind forecasts.
Any of you lucky people already down there give us an idea which of these weather/wind sites are accurate.

Ta very much...

I generally don't look at weather forecast sites, but if you want to know what the weather is right now about 4 miles from Crantock, check out this site:

http://www.newquayweather.com/wxlive.php

That site keeps records, so you could maybe compare that with old forecasts from the websites you look at - here's a link to records of windspeed:

http://www.newquayweather.com/wxwinddetail.php

as you can see, it's been very windy here recently, but I'm hoping it will slacken off for the weekend [-o<
