Windsurfing: Rhosneigr Wind Direction: SW Wind Stength: 25 knots Surf / Sea State: 2m? swells in middle Air Temperature: 18 C Sea Temperature: OK Weather: Part cloud part sun Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Arrived 10.15 to find almost the last parking spot in Rhosneigr. Long hike
to beach, masses of sailors out on the water. Rigged 5.3m because that's
what most of the sails on the beach were. Good for powering through the
lulls on the way out, but a bit overpowered coming back in on the
swells.
Stayed away from the break to the right of the rocks because it looked so
crowded. Excellent fun blasting out through the swells and trying to ride
them back in. Thought about changing down as more 4.5m and 4.0m sails were
appearing, and accelerating down the swells with the 5.3 was getting a bit
mental. However, some jet skiers decided to join in the fun, plus I was
tired, so I packed up and watched the experts in the main break. Watch and
learn. Need to work on gybing on the face of the swells to reduce time in
the water, and reduce the risk of getting hammered by a breaking face.
Overall an excellent day, surely its not this crowded all the time.
