Windsurfing: Ynyslas Estuary Wind Direction: NE Wind Stength: 30-40 knots Surf / Sea State: Choppy Air Temperature: 8ºC Sea Temperature: 13ºC Weather: Hazy sunshine Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Mad conditions in the estuary again today. Checked the wind and it was
around 30 knots. I was going to leave it until later and go out once the
tide had dropped and the channel was showing but there was a student from
the uni out so I thought I'd join him.
I went back and got my 5m, 4.5m, my speed sails, speed board and my wave
board and went back to the estuary. The wind had eased off a little so I
rigged the 5m and my wave board but by the time I got on the water it had
come back again and I was overpowered.
I rigged the 4.5m and got back out there but the wind was now around 40
knots and even that was too much, especially in the choppy and very gusty
conditions.
I still had a nice little sail though, I could have waited for the tide to
drop a little and go out on the speed kit but it was pretty gusty and I was
pretty cold by then.
Good to see another student out on the water though - That's two of them
that are around this year, hopefully we'll see more of them as it's always
good to have someone else to sail with.
Wind is looking good for Thursday and Friday too.
