Windsurfing: Ynyslas Estuary Wind Direction: NE Wind Stength: 20-25 knots Surf / Sea State: Flat - choppy Air Temperature: 27ºC Sea Temperature: 18ºC Weather: Sunny Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Another glorious sunny day and the estuary was doing its thing. I went out
and at first headed across towards the Aberdovey side as it looked a little
windier over there and Impi had headed off in that direction too. Trouble
was as soon as we got past the point the wind was really gusty and just not
quite strong enough, especially with the outgoing tide in the same
direction as the wind so we headed back into the channel on the Ynyslas
side. The wind here was much stronger and not at all gusty so we had a good
session blasting around on the flat water there.
I made most of my duck gybes after a few shaley ones to start with and then
Impi started going for some too. I saw him make one in the end. Great
conditions, the sort of thing you travel halfway round the world to get.
Usually I hate sand and sailing in the estaury gets everyhting covered in
it, but with such high temperatures and a very wamr wind everything was dry
by the time I walked back to the van making packing up a nicer experience
too.
My new 5m sail was good too.
All topped off with a nice BBQ and some particularly strong cider!
