Disappointing sailing day

With good southerly sector winds forecast we were looking forward to a good sail NW but Nw swell increased when the winds got up and we were making little progress. Only one other anchorage option so we turned in to Porto Palo with no shelter from the wind, which was due to drop in a couple of hours but protection from the swell. We had a very bumpy couple of hours anchored in 2m (1.9 to 2.2) But a very peaceful night.
