Windsurfing: Pagham Wind Direction: WSW Wind Stength: F5 Surf / Sea State: Moderate chop Air Temperature: 20 degrees? Sea Temperature: Fine Weather: Sunny becoming cloudy Max Speed: Distance Covered:
I didn't really believe the inshore waters forecast this morning (NW 2-3
backing SW 4 to 5 for a time) but nevertheless got all the chores done by
12.00. Then nothing seemed to happen. I checked the wind direction at
Chimet and eventually it swung round to WSW but still nothing in the way of
strength. At 2.30 I noticed quite a bit of wind around the north downs
eyrie that I call home. A quick check on the Pagham wind line (gusting up
to 19 knots and whitecaps on the water) and I was in the car by 3.00 and at
the beach at 4.00. A mega quick rig and I had a good hour on a 5.5, well
stacked. About 5.15 it clouded over and the wind dropped a touch. Then
lightening, then thunder. I was a bit nervous of sailing in a storm so
headed for the beach. Then the wind died and the rain came.
So, short but oh so sweet. Only 3 * 'cos so short. Sod it, 4 * because it
was such a bonus and the conditions were ace while they lasted.
