12th May 2005 Windsurfing: Overcombe Wind Direction: E Wind Stength: F4-5 Surf / Sea State: 3ft Air Temperature: 13 Sea Temperature: Cold Weather: Sunny Max Speed: Distance Covered: I haven't had a decent sail in the UK since Jan so I it was a pleasant birthday present to have a good forecast after work. Headed down to Weymouth as it was gusting 35 knots at Portland but it wasn't as windy at Overcombe. Francisco Goya was there (not on the water) promoting his brand but I was too keen to get on the water to hang around. After asking around it seemed that 6m was the preferable size as it was deceptively windy on the beach in the onshore conditions. It was a bit iffy on the inside where the best ramps were (isn't that always the case) but I was well powered up on the outside. A few big port tack jumps as gybes off the wave to blow the cobwebs away then I had to go in to put boots on as my feet were numb. A few more runs then I called it a night as the wind was dropping. An excellent birthday sail, let's hope it keeps up for the weekend. |
