Windsurfing: Rhosneigr Wind Direction: SSE Wind Stength: F 7 Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: Overcast Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Big high tide plus a little too much South or SSE in the wind put the beach
and the waves in a big wind shadow. Out in the bay the wind was very strong
with a vicious chop coming through the submerged headland upwind, Not much
fun, even after changing down to JP 69 and 4.0m sail.
However, once the tide had dropped the waves moved out of the shadow and
started to build and clean up the chop. Excellent conditions. JP v good in
the strong winds - does not get blown about in the air and sails very
smooth.
Nasty accident as a lone kitesurfer launched upwind of the rocks and
smacked into them - helicopter rescue - severe injuries.
Wind increased further and realised I should quit whilst still in one
piece.
