Windsurfing: Worthing Wind Direction: WSW Wind Stength: Session time: 1-4pm Surf / Sea State: High tide: 4pm Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: Sunny spells Max Speed: Distance Covered:
The day started with practically feck all and by midday I was on the brink
of giving up but then the weather sites just started to report a few 20mph+
gusts so I decided to have a look. (I needed to drive to Worthing anyway at
some point to pick up my repaired 5.2).
Glad I did. A decent sail in an up-and-down wind, but enought
well-powered-up moments to make it good, and some nice waves as well.
Reluctantly I put up the 6.6 to start with but by the time I had rigged and
walked to the water it had really filled in proper so after only a few runs
I came in to change down. The wind strength then fluctuated a lot under
passing showers - at times it was solid 5m weather for 20 minutes, then
almost nothing, then 5.8 well-powered again. Unlike some I kept on going
through the lulls though and was rewarded with a good long session; not all
that special in terms of the conditions, but after a fair while of no
action just great to be out there and well-powered, especially with the
temperatures being so mild.
The only downer of the afternoon was terminally damaging my new-ish 24cm
fin whilst coming in through the shorebreak. It must have still been of
use to someone though since bizarrely whilst I was on the water it was
nicked from where I had left it to pick up later, along with (more
annoyingly) my flat-head screwdriver. Very odd.
