Re: West Wales Spearos?

Hi surfnspear (are you the artist formally know as morrisonB?)

There is a reef on the far left of three cliffs (looking out to sea) that has got potential. It gets exposed on a spring low but otherwise you can't see it. I've dived pobbles bay (the small bay the other side of the three cliffs) on high tide but didn't see much and haven't been back since but other people have caught fish there.

Oxwich point - the right hand side of oxwich bay, of which three cliffs is a sub bay is a good option if there is a bit of chop around that is spoiling the more exposed spots. There is a wreck there that is allways interesting to dive in and around. May be triggers there by now...

There are other spots on the Gower that are very good and I would be happy show them to you if you want to meet up for a dive. PM me if you want to meet up.

Only trouble is this weekend is looking a bit touch and go for vis. This bit of wind around at the moment has chopped the water up but there is no real swell so the vis will recover quickly. However there is forecast to be a couple of half arsed lows out in the atlantic which may or may not send in a bit of swell for the weekend. Will need to keep an eye on the pressure chart and swell maps and will know for sure wed/thur if gower is on. Does't look like there will be anything good enough for surfing however...

I was actually thinking that this weekend would be a good one to head to Pembrokeshire - it is just that little bit more robust to small swells and wind. Also spring tides - good for fish but not so good for vis on gower.

Feel free to ask if there is anything else i can help you with

cheers, Graham.
