Big sea: up to 2.9 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 and Sun Wall: The models differ by up to 3 points at times between 10:00 and 18:00. This touches the best window.
Across the crag
- Rock now
- Wet. 1.4 mm of rain in 24 hours, 1.5 mm in 72.
- Low water
- Today 03:51, 16:12. Tomorrow 04:54, 17:06.
- Sea
- 2.7 m from the SE, 7 s wind sea. Up to 2.9 m today.
- Weather
- Nigg Bay to Findon point, shared along this stretch. Coast counted as facing ESE.
Met Office figures, to 06:00.
Open a wall for its strips, reasons and week. Scores are today, then tomorrow.

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 17:00, when it shines.
- Sea
- Onto the face, counted in full: 2.7 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
- None noted.
- Birds
- Nesting on parts: birds about in summer; no nests reported on the climbing. April to July, months not confirmed.

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.
