Windsurfing: Lancing Wind Direction: SW - NW Wind Stength: F5-7 Surf / Sea State: Chest high Air Temperature: ok Sea Temperature: nippy Weather: sunny and windy Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Saturday was pretty ballistic on the south coast. Could only get away for
the afternoon, but the tide was low all day so no problems there. Headed
straight to Lancing hoping that the forecast for the wind to swing round to
the west was correct. It was. So side shore Force 7 when I arrived, rigged
a 4m Ezzy Wave. Fully powered, with nicely stacked waves, head high on the
sets. Nice starboard tack wave riding. Wind gradually turned round to the
northwest, so it got a bit gusty and patchy as the wind dropped off (hence
only 4 stars), but the waves cleaned up and there were plumes of spray off
the top. Plus the sun was out all afternoon making for great conditions.
Sailed til dark with a bit of a wallow to get out to the cleaner wind out
the back, then easy to catch a bigger set and ride it down the line til
your fin grounded out.
