Not the remnants of a hurricane this time but just a &#8216;normal&#8217; autumnal storm. Still with winds exceeding 60mph though and West Wales was in for a battering. If anything this was going to be worse than Ophelia as it coincided with Spring tides. It was also blowing in a more westerly direction so would be pounding West Wales with bigger waves and a more sustained effort.<\/p>\n<p>High tide on the beach on Saturday morning was a grey and wet one. Aberystwyth Prom was taking a bit of a beating and there was over-topping along the beach at Borth and Ynyslas.
