22nd February 2003
Windsurfing: Porthcawl - Newton Wind Direction: E Wind Stength: F4-5 Surf / Sea State: flat to steep chop Air Temperature: 9 deg Sea Temperature: bloody cold Weather: bootiful Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Got stuck in the bloody rugby international traffic on the M4 - took nearly
2 hrs to get there, arriving @ 14:00.
Wind was up & down - I was going to go out on the JP Wave 78, with 5.5m,
but decided there wasn't enough wind - there were some serious lulls.
In the end, it was fine with the 6.2 on the 260 Bee - a little underpowered
in the lulls, overpowered in one or two of the gusts.
I've never sailed Newton at such low water before - It was one hell of a
walk back @ 16:00 (LW @ 16:10) when I packed up, & there were exposed rocks
where I didn't realise there were rocks - right down the middle of the bay,
for a long way out.
Not a bad session - worth the drive.
