WRONG PLACE RIGHT TIME
Hercules promised two days of massive waves that were forecast to hit pretty much every single south and west-facing break in the U.K., not to mention the coastlines of France, Spain, Portugal, Morocco, the Canary Islands and every reef and beach all the way down to the Cape Verde islands.
Everywhere was set for a hammering, with many of the forecasts warning that it was simply going to be too big and out of control in most spots and advising all but the most experienced watermen to stay out of the water.
With this in mind, I had made a plan to head to Cornwall with an open brief as the storm hit on Monday morning and then possibly score the Tuesday at The Bluff, which hopefully would be cleaner and better with clearer weather and less chaotic conditions.
