Windsurfing: Rhosneigr Wind Direction: SW Wind Stength: 24 Surf / Sea State: big waves Air Temperature: 18 Sea Temperature: 16 Weather: sun Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Never sailed Rhossi before so asked some guys in a van and they said they
were kiters now but would have used 5.5m,so rigged 5.2m, then discovered
most others were on 4-4.5m. Before I went out one guy said waves for Rhossi
were normal, but they were much bigger than I expected breaking out to sea
and over mast high form trough to lip. Bit scarey seeing some of those
monsters coming towards me and got rinsed a few times. Glad I had a big
sail as I need the power to get out of the way and waterstart my way out of
trouble. Had some fantastic rides in smooth water between waves and quite a
few turns came off, though those that did to usually meant trouble. I
figured out why no one went as far out as I did whwn I saw some rocks,
heard a ping and lost my fin. Got washed in with my rig from a fair way
out; could have been a lot worse. Great place to sail, just a bit scarier
than I expected.
