Windsurfing: Ynyslas estuary Wind Direction: E-NE Wind Stength: 15-25 - 40-45 Surf / Sea State: flat/choppy Air Temperature: 16 Sea Temperature: Weather: sunny spells Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Arrived just after high tide and just about managed to get in passed the
cars/vans/campers at the entrance to the estuary.
Impi was coming in as the wind had dropped off. Dave and Sarah were still
out using and gusts or stronger spells coming through. So I rigged my
biggest 6.4m and big 114ltr board and got out. Had some decent runs on nice
flat water. With a very big tide there was a lot of water moving about.
After a while it dropped off even more. Later it started to fill in and
pick up and soon I was maxed out.
Came in to change down to a 5.8 and wave board as impi was rigging a 6.4
and Al and Steve arrived. Then it went mad so I changed my mind and rigged
a 4.5m, should have gone for the 4.0m after a bit of watching to see if it
would settle down we went in and tried a few runs in the channel as the
tide dropped very low. It was just too much so after just a few runs called
it a day! Shallow water, sandbanks and mad wind, dooh!
