Windsurfing: Ynyslas Estuary Wind Direction: NE Wind Stength: 25-15 knots Surf / Sea State: Flat Air Temperature: 20ºC Sea Temperature: 14ºC Weather: Sunny Max Speed: 28.0 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 11.9 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise)
The estuary was doing its thing yesterday, I checked the wind first thing
in the morning and it was howling at around 30-35 knots. Unfortunately I
had to go to work and there wasn't enough water anyway... Although there
would have een enough for an offshore session on the seafront.
I went back around 11am to find a steady 25 knot wind and now plenty of
water in the channel so I rigged my sputnik and 5m Tomahawk sail for a bit
of a speed session. Once on the water I was powered up OK, but for real
speed could have done with a little more. It was also pretty choppy in
places, so my Max speed was a disappointing 28 knots. I made some lovely
wide arc carve gybes though.
The wind soon dropped off after a while though, so instead of re-rigging I
packed up and went home.
