Windsurfing: Felixstowe-Dip Wind Direction: S Wind Stength: 18-22 Surf / Sea State: rollers Air Temperature: 9 Sea Temperature: 9 Weather: cloud Max Speed: 21.6 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 12.7 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise)
Rain cleared and even some blue sky for a short while. Rigged 5.2m/96l then
76l as wind picked up and to see if 5.2m worked on76l, which it did.
Sea nice with smooth rollers. A couple of kiters packing up 9:30 after
starting 7:30 to catch low water!
Wind quite S so sailing almost parallel to shore. As wind increased a bit
and tide neared high rollers increased in size further out, guess sandbanks
building there. Near river chop built for a while, and one roller felt mast
high, probably not but still a bit scary.
Great fun playing swells and quite smooth except for ~20 mins when chop
messed up. Shore dump built and hard getting out when changing board down,
just about avoided one of the posts. Swainey broke a mast :-(. Came ashore
Golf end to avoid getting smashed in concrete. Thought about sailing closer
but shore dump everywhere and stopped whilst ahead Paul V made a now-rare
visit but don't think made it past the shore dump, then watched his trailer
fall apart. I had a good day and felt lucky not to have broken anything.
