5th September 2011 Windsurfing: WSM Wind Direction: WSW - SW and back again Wind Stength: F4-6 Surf / Sea State: big & messy Air Temperature: 15C Sea Temperature: Warmer than that Weather: heavy showers Max Speed: Distance Covered: Cleared all appointments from the decks on the basis of the forecast! On the beach, people were just changing up from 4.0 to 5.0 ish. After much prevarication, a couple of squalls, wind dropping to zero and blowing solid F6, I realised that nothing was going to be perfect, so played safe'ish with 4.7 on 86l wave board. At first, I was slightly overpowered, especially as the waves at high water were pretty big, so added a bit more downhaul & outhaul, only for the wind to drop several notches. With the wind dead onshore, getting out around HW can be problematic. Once the tide starts to ebb, the waves get a big friendlier. really, I should have changed to a bigger sail, but I managed to get going pretty well for much of the time. Long walk back though after overstaying my welcome (3hrs after HW!). |
