Windsurfing: The Dip-Felixstowe Wind Direction: ssw Wind Stength: 14/20 Surf / Sea State: Horendous :( Air Temperature: 13 Sea Temperature: Weather: sunny Max Speed: 23.34 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 4.31 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise)
I had to work an extra nightshift last night and didn't get home until 3:30
but was up by 10:30 and after breakfast decided to take my kit to the sea
before the tide got too high !!! I got to The Dip just before midday and
the wind was all over the place - 14 to 27 mph !!! and a big sea :( I
decided to give it ago while I still had some beach ! I went with 6.4 but
fully cammed - not ideal as I am still looking for a 6.5 rotational and
also I would like to replace my broken 7m !!! Getting off the beach was ok
if you were patient but I was way underpowdered as the s wind seemed to by
swinging sw - a bit off here ! I managed to get going just a little farther
out where the sea was really big and the return to the beach was virtually
assailable !!! :( with chop on chop on chop - worse than crap !!! I went
out three times in all but things got even worse as the tide came in !! The
only good thing was the lovely sunny mild day and for a sailor who likes to
try and fast Felixstowe approaching high water is awful :( Then went home
and took Mag for a walk at the lovely Levington and to check the conditions
as might sail here tomorrow ???
