5th August 2026 Windsurfing: The Manor at Felixsrtowe Wind Direction: WSW Wind Stength: 15/20 Surf / Sea State: lumpy with smooth patches Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: sunny periods and hot Max Speed: 18.49 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 28.50 mile (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise) Wednesday 5th August – Windsurf **** The Manor at Felixstowe – sunny periods and hot Foil – 18.49 knot max, 17.16 knot ave., 13.00 knot hour, 16.63 knot mile, 46.33 km., 13.41 knot alpha. Starboard Freeride 150 and a Tushingham Bolt 5.75m. With a moderate breeze from the wsw forecast today I decided to head down to Squiz Lane at The Manor arriving around 8.15 taking Mag with me for her second prom walk of the day! After saying goodbye to Mag as she set off for home I quickly set up my foil board and took a chance with my 5.75m which proved ideal for most of the session. I was on the water at nine to make the most of the 10 o clock low water and did several long runs out to just beyond the Wadgate post, not much sun with some cool dark clouds, even had a few spots of rain and had the whole area to myself as no one else turned up to play although one went out at The Fludyers just up the coast I believe. I had one cracking near three mile broad run up the coast then spent the rest of the session beating back:) The Wadgate break was just visable at times with some nice smooth water to play in and gybing went OK today not falling in once. With the wind going patchy I decided to call it a day sailing over 28 miles, one more run I I would have broken 30 miles but at least I got ashore before the wind went completely off but that would not have been a problem as I have foiled here in a westerly before! There was some top black clouds rolling in which looked great when the sun broke through, so a good session at The Manor with WSW being my favourite direction for this spot and I could foil right to the beach despite it being a fraction off! I was home for 12.30 to send a few pics to the TV weather, a snack in the garden before doing my exercises! PS - I drove down to Felixstowe Ferry to watch a lovely sunset:) Photo Album here |
