If I could ask for a perfect week in Cornwall it would probably look a lot like this one. To get it off to a good start its only a 4 day week, allowing my Monday to be spent mostly in the water in the sun - ideal!
But it gets better, the weather is set to continue right up until Sunday and may be even longer, those balmy September evenings are about to arrive.
If this isn't enough, the surf looks likes its going to be going off in Cornwall, with the first hurricane swell of the year, Danielle, due to arrive around Thursday and a blocking high pressure system over the South West. This means great weather, light offshores and a solid 4ft+ of swell reaching over the weekend.
Get your sun cream, board and BBQ out, September is on its way!

August's bank holiday is around the corner, with some sun forecast and even a bit of surf we are all looking forward to a long weekend.
Tate St Ives are hosting their summer BBQ this Friday to kick the weekend off, if the weather behaves itself it should be a lovely evening watching the sunset. Booking is recommended, phone 01736 796226.
If the Tate isn't what you are looking for how about St Ives Harbour Raft Race, all in aid of charity this is bound to be a laugh. For details of how to enter please email stivespilotgigclub@yahoo.co.uk.
St Ives has a whole host of live music this weekend as well, from blues to the Summer Concert featuring some great local talent.
If you are still struggling to find somewhere to stay, we have one property available, 5 Bethesda Place, which we have reduced to £1529 for the week.
The Greenaway Pro begins today on Porthmeor beach in St Ives. After the success of last years competition and music, locals and visitors alike are looking forward to this years event.
The event which serves in memory of Tom Greenaway raises money for some great charities such as SAS. As part of the competition on Thursday SAS will be organising a beach clean from 1pm outside the surf school - try and take part as we all like clean beaches :-).
With an even bigger lineup this year on both the entertainment and the competition side, we can expect another great event. The Mystery Jets will be there, as will The Strays playing at the Guildhall on Saturday, this event is now sold out but looks like it should be a top night. The acoustic night on the Friday at St Ives cinema, with Frankie Davies, Brother and Bones and plenty more, still has tickets available from here.
Come down and support any of the events, the longboarding, U18s, Masters and Womens start today and the Open and Bodyboard categories start on Friday. The swell looks like it should be building through the week, so hopefully the waves will come out for the weekend.
Final quick note, we still have one property left in August, 5 Bethesda Place and we have reduced the price today by 20%! We keep our availability up to date so make sure to check our last minute availability.
St Ives will be hosting its annual Lifeboat day this Thursday 19th August. With a variety of stalls, tombola, grand raffle, BBQ, and live music outside The Sloop Inn. The funds raised will go towards supporting RNLI and the volunteer lifeboat crews, who have saved many a life in this area and the crews put so much time and effort into their volunteer roles - please give generously to this worthy cause.
To make the day even more special the Red Arrows have now been announced to appear at 17:50 (weather permitting) and they always but on a fantastic show - just look at the reaction they received in Falmouth this year.
Also on the Thursday SAS are holding a beach clean at Porthmeor from 1pm outside the surf school. Clean beaches make everyone happy and someone has to do it, so make sure you get stuck in if you can!
