Windsurfing: The Dip-Felixstowe Wind Direction: ssw Wind Stength: 18/22 Surf / Sea State: horrendous chop :( Air Temperature: 24 Sea Temperature: 17 Weather: sunny Max Speed: 27.64 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 21 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise)
Was really looking forward to today with sunshine and a good breeze
forecast so got down fairly early at approx. 9:30 to catch the low water.
The three members of the Hurrel family were rigged and ready to go with 6
to 6.5 sails as it was a bit windier than forecast, I have no 4.60 mast and
my 6.6 rotational needs a repair so was limited to what I could rig so went
with the x-15 6.4 which wasn't ideal in the very choppy North Sea :( In the
end the sail was fine but it was the worst sea I have ever sailed in here
at Felixstowe with chop on chop horrendously bumpy and very hard work :(
The best conditions were up by the kite beach but the runs were short, the
wind was also very up and down and I had to use my 133 board for awhile.
The wind picked up a little so I tried my soft 5.6 but the tide was now
high and the sea even worse :( shame really as it was a really lovely sunny
hot day and the water warm in a shortie :) North East is now the best
direction here at Felixstowe.
