These sources describe different locations and exposures. Offshore and inshore buoy readings provide context for St Ives Bay; they are not measurements taken at the surf break itself. Directional labels use Godrevy and Gwithian as a representative north-west-facing swell window; individual peaks and beaches can differ.
