WATER TEMPERATURE - 6 Degrees
EXPECTED RIVER LEVEL OVER NEXT 72 HOURS - .63 - 1.2 Meters
CANYONING, GORGE SCRAMBLING AND GORGE WALKING PREDICTED 72 REPORT
Very hard to predict the river levels at the moment, the winds are high and the rain is continuous but patchy with heavy and light rain periods. Canyoning will not be suitable for the next couple of days but gorge walking and gorge scrambling could be suitable with lower rain fall. Sunday on wards is looking perfect throughout the region with lower rainfall and more settled conditions.
UPDATE - The rain is slight and the rivers are rising but still acceptable on the river Sychryd, however would advise unsuitable on the River Mellte.

SURF CONDITIONS REPORT CARDIFF, SWANSEA, SOUTH WALES
Huge swells again this week all over the South Wales Coastline, the surf will be up to 14 feet on the incoming tide on the weekend but the winds are going to be strong from storm Gareth. If you afre going to brave the conditions you will need to head to the sheltered beaches from the Westerly winds such as Coney beach in Porthcawl and Caswell Bay in Swansea.
OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES REPORT SUMMARY 15TH MARCH TO 21ST MARCH 2019
Definately a tale of two halves, the weekend is looking very stormy and unpredictable for all events including Canyoning, coasteering, gorge walking, gorge scrambling, surfing, sea kayaking, paddle boarding.
We have Ben and the lads coming over from Bristol for their Stag weekend and we will be assessing the conditions for gorge scrambling through the next few days to make sure the event will go ahead.
