Windsurfing: Newgale Wind Direction: N (Cross-off) Wind Stength: F 5-6 Surf / Sea State: Up to shoulder high Air Temperature: 21 Sea Temperature: Warm Weather: Sunny all day Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Arrived an hour after high tide (5.6m on MSW) and the water was just off
the pebbles. Cross-off, but the first guy out was stacked on 5.3 and
clearly the wind shadow behind the pebble bank was not a problem. Rigged
4.7 which was spot on with 84 litre quad all day. A bit of tuning was
needed as the wind strength changed and there were some holes, but I was
planing flat out most of the time. Nice clean waves - up to shoulder high.
Caught loads, concentrating on getting speed dtl and making a few turns. My
last wave was the biggest and I was almost too tired to turn - caught the
clew on the last top turn and it took me down - time to call it a day -
stoked.
Loads of windsurfers out as the Tenby Demo crew came over. Plenty of space
on the water for everyone. Nick Baker and other pros were out really
ripping it up.
A fantastic day and great to see so many windsurfers out.
