Also very strong high winds on Monday and Tuesday next week coming in from the South but temperatures will fell higher. Could be drier on Thursday next week as the rain breaks and winds could also drop giving a better day. http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2648385?day=2) (https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/forecast/gcjqmsw80

GORGE WALKING, CANYONING, GORGE SCRAMBLING CARDIFF AND SWANSEA PREDICTED REPORT - The Mellte river in the Western Brecon Beacons is showing a river height of .36 meters at the moment which is perfect for gorge walking, gorge scrambling and canyoning. The rain is quite presistant this week which will raise the river levels this could have an adverse effect on Canyoning but levels should still be good for gorge walking and scrambling. All depends on the level of rainfall for the next few days and the amount the land is saturated to hold the levels of rain and ground saturation. Again we shall update through the week if levels change and conditions become unsuitable.
WIND - Strong Easterly, Westerly and Southerly winds predicted for this week ahead. Saturday will see strong Easterlies up to 25mph bringing in colder winds then Monday and Tuesday will have strong Southerlies up to 37 mph. Wind will then change to Westerlies on Wednesday up to 28mph. Varied winds through the week and some days up to gale force. Check windguru for the Porthcawl and regional wind forecast.
SEA STATE and SWELL - With varied strong winds and strong swells this will depend on the day for the sea state. Possibly the calmest day inshore will be Saturday with strong Easterly winds blowing offshore and calming the sea state for the local South Wales area, the swell is also lower on Saturday and calmer seas. The other days will be choppy and stormy especially Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday with big Westerly and Southerly winds and big sea swells.
