Big sea: up to 1.5 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.

How sure

Today: ICON is up to 3 points higher than the other two at 09:00. This touches the best window.

Tomorrow: The models differ by just over 2 points at 16:00. This touches the best window.

Even the best window is held back by rain and humid air (94% humidity).

What shapes this crag

Sun
Aspect not known, so Grip never counts the sun as on the face.
Sea
Aspect not known, counted in full: 1.4 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
No information. Grip does not know whether birds nest here.

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.
