Fulmar Wall
!
Big sea: up to 2.7 m today. A big sea can reach walls that are not marked tidal. Check the sea and the weather on the day before you commit to a route.
Walls
How sure
Tomorrow
Main face: The models differ by up to 4 points at times between 11:00 and 16:00. This touches the best window.
Shadow Slab: The models differ by up to 3 points at times between 11:00 and 16:00. This touches the best window.
Fluted Buttress: The models differ by up to 4 points at times between 11:00 and 17:00. This touches the best window.
Across the crag
- Rock now
- Dry. 0.2 mm of rain in 24 hours, 0.5 mm in 72.
- Low water
- Today 03:21, 15:45. Tomorrow 04:25, 16:40.
- Sea
- 2.6 m from the SE, 7 s wind sea. Up to 2.7 m today.
- Weather
- Cruden Bay to Boddam point, shared along this stretch. Coast counted as facing ESE.
Met Office figures, to 05:00.
Open a wall for its strips, reasons and week. Scores are today, then tomorrow.

Today, Wed 21
Not climbable today. Best 09:00 to 12:00.

Tomorrow, Thu 22
Climbable from 13:00. Best 15:00 to 17:00.

Why
Even the best window is held back by rain and humid air (93% humidity).
What shapes this wall
- Sun
- On the face 09:00 to 14:00, when it shines.
- Shelter
- Offshore rock breaks the swell.
- Sea
- Onto the face, broken by offshore rock, counted at half: 1.3 m at the wall.
- Tide
- Grip pulls the rock temperature harder towards the sea's, and counts spray from a 2 m sea rather than 2.5 m.
- Seepage
- Known to seep after rain.
- Birds
- Reported nesting, April to July, months not confirmed. Sources disagree: one reports nesting birds, the other says the wall is almost free of them in season.

Grip is the blend of the three models. The points column shows the Met Office figures (the next model's where it does not reach), factors at zero left out. Wet risk is how many models have the rock wet, foggy or raining.
