Kite surfing: Ynyslas Wind Direction: sw-wnw Wind Stength: Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: Max Speed: Distance Covered:
What a fantastic weekend. Four 3 hour sessions in two days... Friday
afternoon 7m weather. Two sessions on saturday on the 9m kite (though a
little overpowered at times in the morning) Nice big waves at times, bit
messy at other states of the tide. Got woken up at 6am today when wetsuit
started clanking having left it hanging on the van. Tide low and sea
looked to have nice smooth waves so rigged up for a dawn raid (trying not
to wake up the rest of the vans :) Nicely powered on the 9 and the wind was
just right for surfing the waves. Occasional shower but mostly dry - even
a few glimmers of sun occasionally. After the tide started rising the waves
started breaking and water got generally choppy so ended up going up to the
estuary mouth to see if anyone up early from boardwise. Had some fun in
the flat water but risk going much past the green channel marker buoy due
to the wind shadow on the Aberdovey side. Lots of vans but only a few dog
walkers on the beach at 7am.... Wind eventually started easing down so a
long leisurely down winder back to Ynyslas. About 10am but now and one or
two people just starting to appear on the beach. Just got home and rinsed
kit and the GrandPrix is about to start. Fantastic weekend. 5 stars just
because of the numbers of hours on the water in two days.
