11th March 2004 Windsurfing: Golf Course Car park, Ynyslas Wind Direction: SE Wind Stength: 20-30 knots Surf / Sea State: 2 foot surf Air Temperature: 4ºC Sea Temperature: 8ºC Weather: Cloudy Max Speed: Distance Covered: I was a little dubious about going out in the strong cross-offshore winds on my own, but the waves dropped off a little and the surf was crap so I decided i was time to go windsurfing. I rigged my wave-board and 5m sail, but in the lee of the dunes I was pretty sheltered from the wind so felt that I needed bigger and also rigged my biggest board and 5.7m, which is what I started out on. The conditions were difficult. I couldn't see the waves coming through my well used sail and the offshore winds meant I couldn't hear them either, so negotiating the shorebreak and getting out through the wave was a little difficult. Once out the beack I was way overpowered and just had to head upwind parallel to the shore in order to hold on, before plucking up the courage to go for a gybe and head back in. I did manage a couple of good down the line front-side wave-rides, but was overpowered really, so went in and got my smaller kit. Unfortunately althoough there would have been more than enough for this out the back, getting out there on the small kit proved quite difficult as the winds in amongst the white-water were a little flukey, on top of which the big tides meant there was a lot of water moving around out there which just always seemed to be dragging me the wrong way. |
