🎣 Chesil Beach Conditions
Thursday 24th September
Chesil is looking calm and settled today, with a light easterly and south easterly breeze throughout.
The wind starts E at around 8 mph this morning, then turns ESE and SE at around 9 to 10 mph through late morning and lunchtime.
Through the afternoon it remains mainly SE and SSE at around 9 to 10 mph, with gusts only reaching around 10 to 12 mph.
The breeze gradually eases into the evening, dropping to around 6 to 8 mph later tonight.
With winds staying this light, there should be very little wind driven movement on Chesil today.
It stays completely dry throughout.
Cloud is heavy for much of the morning and afternoon, although it should break up considerably during the evening.
Temperatures rise from 14°C this morning to around 20°C through lunchtime and the afternoon, before dropping back to around 14°C tonight.
Pressure remains high, starting around 1025 mb and gradually easing to around 1021 mb.
🌊 Tides today
High water: 05:55 at 3.21m
Low water: 11:34 at 1.14m
High water: 18:17 at 3.42m
Low water: 23:58 at 1.01m
The main daytime movement is the flood from the 11:34 low towards the larger evening high at 18:17.
🌊 Chesil Wave Buoy
The Chesil buoy feed shows observations continuing through 23:30 last night, although the latest detailed individual reading I can verify is from yesterday morning. That reading showed a significant wave height of 1.1 ft, a peak period of 15.4 seconds, SSE wave direction and a sea temperature of 18.5°C.
That points to a relatively small sea, although the longer period shows there has been some residual swell energy present. With today’s light SE winds, the live we**am is the best way to see exactly what is reaching the beach this morning.
