Three day forecast issued by The Meteorological Office at 0515 UTC on Thursday 8th May 1997.
A ridge of high pressure extending northwestwards along the route at present, continues to maintain mainly ligh, southeasterly

expected to move eastwards across the route, enhancing the southwesterly swell.
