Field notes

The Fistral view labels surf heights as estimated breaking surf and explains its units: metres for surf height and knots for wind speed. It presents local-time forecasts across day and night hours, while explicitly saying it does not recommend a night session. The navigation also links to sources and attribution, a forecast guide, and beach listings across Cornwall.
