[Update 5 Mar 26] Studland has an onshore wind and the swell forecast is in the region of 1m. Lyme Regis, however, is very tame at 0.1m, i.e. calm! The wind is dropping from 7mph to 5 mph which is very gentle. The westerly tide starts at 13:17 so heading east in the morning and returning in the afternoon will have the slight tidal current with us both ways. It's low water at 14:27 so hopefully there will be more sand exposed on the beaches for lunch landing.
Let's meet at 09:30 at Monmouth Beach Car Park at Lyme Regis. The Launch site is just to west of the Cobb on Monmouth Beach. There is a small car park and a carry through the beach huts, over the shingle to the waters edge. The Monmouth Beach car park is at grid SY336915, DT7 3JN, W3W ///Templates.mammals.bloomers. It is possible that we can take the boats through to the harbour or beach beyond and for this trolleys are useful. Trolleys are useless over the shingle at Monmouth Beach.
This is the first of a few Studland trips and is ideal for those wishing an easy first trip of the year.
Let's meet at 09:30 at Knoll Beach as usual. Knoll Beach National Trust car park is just south of the café by the beach huts: BH19 3AQ, w3w ///slurred.sensual.afflicted, OS Grid Ref: SZ 033 835.
