Guernsey Weather Fox

MONDAY

WEATHER A mostly cloudy morning, with the odd spot of rain, followed by a sunny afternoon. Winds will be force 2 NW’ly in the morning and force 3 in the afternoon, meaning that Town should feel warmest, with a max temp of 16-17C. For the most comfortable afternoon beach time, Fermain, Moulin Huet, Saints or Petit Bot should be the best of the bunch.

SURF AND TIDE Sloppy, choppy 1-2 foot waves. Still reasonably surfable in the morning though. High tide will be 9.3m at 8:20am. Low tide 1.2m at 2:40pm.

TUESDAY

WEATHER A cracking day of sunshine, with very light N’ly breezes in the morning, then force 3 NW’ly in the afternoon. The max temp should be 16-17C in most areas but probably a degree higher in Town and along the south coast.

SURF AND TIDE Winds and tides will be best for surfing in the morning, but unfortunately the waves will only be 1 foot at best. During the evening some 2 foot waves will arrive but at that time the NW’ly breeze will make them rather sloppy. High tide will be 9m at 9am. Low tide 1.5m at 3:20pm.

WEDNESDAY

WEATHER Another gorgeous dry day. Slightly more cloud than on Tuesday, but balanced out by lighter winds, meaning that we should hit a decent max temp of 17-18C in most parts of the island.

SURF AND TIDE Clean 2 foot waves through the morning and then again towards sunset. High tide will be 8.6m at 9:30am. Low tide 1.9m at 3:50pm.

THURSDAY AND FRIDAY The slippery slope towards a more unsettled weekend starts here. Thursday will see the breeze back to a SW’ly direction, but it won’t be until the evening and overnight, that we see a deterioration in the weather, as a band of showery rain sweeps through. The showers will then become isolated for Friday, which will generally be bright and breezy, with a force 4 WNW’ly wind.

THE WEEKEND Not desperately unsettled on Saturday. Just a bit of a come down from the likes of Tuesday and Wednesday. Much like Friday, Saturday will have force 4 WNW’ly winds, but it will still be mostly bright or sunny. Sunday, currently looks less pleasant, with W’ly winds probably getting a bit stronger, and the skies cloudy and occasionally showery. Max temps probably not exceeding 15C on Saturday, and then only peaking between 13 and 14C on Sunday.
