Of course they first make sure that the reef remains slightly unfinished so that they have something to blame. . .. that will take a couple of years at least.

The latest article suggests an increase of only 15-20%. I appreciate that the reef will provide a more rideable wave but why such a drastic decrease in expected size? Bournemouth rarely gets swell of more than 3ft which is pretty small by anyone's standards so one would have thought wave size would have been of importance? Regards, Matt Hi,
