EXPECTED RIVER LEVEL OVER NEXT 72 HOURS - .46 m - .7m
PREDICTED 72 REPORT
The river levels are already high due to the snow and the rainfall over the last few days, the big thaw has bought continuous water flow in the rivers across Cardiff, Swansea, Neath, Newport, Bridgend for gorge walking, gorge scrambling, ghyll scrambling and Canyoning the river levels are between .46 meters and .7 meters which is good for gorge walking and gorge scrambling but not so much for canyoning on the higher region which can pick up the faster flow with the rainfall. So be aware and possibly head for the gorge for the safer option.

PREDICTED 72 HOUR REPORT
The swell has definitely picked up from last week and so has the air temperature close to Cardiff, Southern Down, Llantwit Major, Aberavon, Swansea, Llanllei, and upto Stackpole Quay . The wind is quite strong Westerlies and South Westerlies so expossed beaches such as Rest Bay, Southerndown, Llangenith will be very messy, more protected South facing beaches should be smaller but better.
