Windsurfing: Berrow Sands Wind Direction: West Wind Stength: F5-6 Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Deciced to give Berrow ago as wind was Southerly in the channel but could
see from internet sites that it was swinging west in Ireland,Cornwall &
Devon & so hopefully in the cahnnel to?
Drove down through mist & fog & no wind with fingers crossed,got to Berrow
& it was Southerly bout 10kts,sat there for a while watching storms coming
up the channel,Very grey not alot of wind & pissing down :(
Then it all blew through,i could see Barry island & south Wales very
clearly with my Binocs, they wernt strong enough to see if Kelvin was out
though :) ,but in the middle of the channel it looked well windy, so rigged
up 5.7 & big board but still only 10knts S on the the beach.
By the time i was putting on my suit it took about 3mins to swing from
South to west & start picking up & the sun was now blasting.
Had 3 runs on the Flow,wind now picking up loads,Lovely.
Went & rigged 5.0 & 90lt Naish (left flow & 5.7 up just incase),it was
perfect for 4 runs now with loads of wind blown swell about,but wind kept
going up,Lovely.
Went back to van again & got 76lt wave board which was purfect (put Flow &
5.7 away).
Sorted 25 knts Sunny & loads of ramps about which seemed loads better than
WSM!
Disater the wind dropped & i was now sailing a submarine... Bollocks
I was gonna call it day, but once again out came the flow & i plugged in
the 5.0 what a diifernce 26lts make,was flying again, but after bout
20mins wind went back up in an instant & that flow was way to fast & bouncy
in the surf,once again out came the 76lt.
With a constant 25+ knts spent the next 90 mins maxed on 5.0 with big
jumps etc etc & i was the only one out.Lovely.....
Have started sailing bear foot so much better should ave done it years
ago,
Could have sailed to sunset but they lock the gates at 8pm which is
crap...
5 board changes & 2 sails used, needed a caddy....
