Storm Barra made an impact on the area with winds gusting in excess of 85mph in the local area. The storm coincided with some spring tides, which resulted in a strorm surge and the local sea defences took a battering from the waves. This is the harbour beach, with a wall protecting the sea front properties from the power of the waves.

Despite it being another chilly weekend, the strength of the sunshine in April does mean that sheltered spots do become nice and warm. An example of such a spot, when the wind is from the north, is the W & G Williams beach huts end of the main beach.

The recent spell of cold weather also saw strong winds from an easterly quarter and these onshore winds have scoured the sand from the main beach. The amount of sand which has been taken can be seen on this week's photo from John.

Abersoch and Pen Llyn have been battered by winds gusting in the vicinity of 60mph over the last couple of days.

Phill Boyd is on photo duty this week and took this shot from the dunes behind the beach huts on Abersoch main beach, looking towards St. Tudwal's Islands on a beautiful day. An east-northeasterly breeze is chopping up the bay, which would normally have a large number of yachts moored offshore - however, that, like most things related to tourism, is currently on hold.

Phill Boyd is this week's photographer and the week has seen some really fine weather, with the wind dropping out at times to bring some idyllic conditions to the bay. Obviously this has been a difficult week for everybody as the coronavirus restrictions have come into effect, however, the weather has helped lift some of the gloom. Phill captured this sunrise shot from the sand dunes on Abersoch main beach.

Alot can change in a week and, since the last photo update, the measures to fight Covid 19 have come into effect, bringing a period of great uncertainty.

Another beach hut photo from John this week. This one is from much further up the beach, near to the Lon Golff slipway and shows a very high spring tide. The high tide combined with some swell pushing up into Cardigan Bay resulting in an enhanced tide. This can cause some issues, as was the case a few winter's ago, however, this one did not coincide with a major storm surge.

The waves of Porth Neigwl, viewed from the Rhiw end of the bay, is this week's photo from John. It has been a stormy winter and the soft cliffs of this beach have been getting a pounding.
