Windsurfing: Pagham Wind Direction: E Wind Stength: 4/5 Surf / Sea State: Substantial swell and waves Air Temperature: Surprisingly warm Sea Temperature: Not too bad at all Weather: Overcast then rain. Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Easterly at Pagham again, but overcast unlike yesterday and with a much
bigger swell which had built up overnight. By the time I arrived (12.30)
the tide had dropped quite a bit but there were still waves to be dodged in
the shorebreak. I rigged a 6.5 rather than risk blubbing in an onshore
wind, then had second thoughts as others all seemed to be on smaller stuff.
Stuck with the 6.5 and was happy to have plenty of power. There were loads
of quite decent waves for backside stuff on the spit and elsewhere.
Eventually the wind switched off suddenly and I ended up with a big swim
in. So yet again a curtailed session but probably the best all year for me
mainly because there were some waves to play with. A little bit more wind
would have been nice and a little bit more time too. As I swam in to shore
the rain started but by the time I'd had a shower and cup of tea the rain
stopped and the sun came out followed by a complete rainbow and a partial
secondary one. A super low tide too, so a great opportunity to check out
those fin-grabbing rocks.
