Windsurfing: Ythan Estuary, Aberdeen Wind Direction: S Wind Stength: 10-20 mph Surf / Sea State: Flat Air Temperature: Warm Sea Temperature: Cool Weather: Sunny Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Had a chance to get out on the water after work, and as I had my gear in
the car from yesterday, it would have been rude not to. Mark and his mate
were already there rigging 6.5m sails and Bertrand on a 5.8m. The wind was
about 20mph at this stage, so looking OK. Rigged the 6.3m as I hadn't got
my 8m with me. The guys were just about planing when they first went out,
but by the time I got on the water about 10 minutes later, the wind was
dropping and never really recovered. Never managed to get fully on the
plane myself even with energetic pumping, but I was happy with the
freestyle practice I got, which should at least help when the wind is
stronger in the future. Beautiful sunny weather though, which more than
made up for it. Typically, as the water became too shallow due to the
outgoing tide, the wind started to pick up - always the way!
