1st April 2007
Windsurfing: Pagham Wind Direction: NE Wind Stength: Session time: 2-5pm Surf / Sea State: LT @6pm Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: WTW sunshine!!! Max Speed: Distance Covered:
The NE'lies continued so I checked out Pagham today for a change of
scenery. I wasn't expecting the weather to be quite as glorious as
yesterday or the wind quite as strong, with maybe cloudy 5.8 weather at
best. However the sight that you always hope for when you arrive at the
beach greeted me today - 15-20 sailors on the water, all fully powered up
and flying across abundant white caps under perfect blue skies. So
conditions turned out to be very similar to yesterday; more gusty 5.2
weather illuminated by more wall-to-wall sunshine. It felt proper summery
out there (apart from the water temp) and at times was really getting me in
the mood for the imminent warm weather sailing in Morocco... :->
Despite the very similar conditions I enjoyed today's session more than
yesterday's, dunno why, I just seemed to spend more time doing what I
wanted to do and less time getting frustrated by the gusts and chop. I
think the chop was a bit less severe and the wind was slightly cross-on
instead of yesterday's slightly cross-off and therefore maybe a tad more
consistent. Plus I realised that I much prefer Pagham as a place to sail
than Pevensey - it feels more attractive and isolated and the sand bars
always add interest to the conditions. So apart from a sustained drop in
the wind at the end overall t'was another good session to complete another
good weekend.
