Windsurfing: Lake Bala Wind Direction: SW Wind Stength: gusty 25-40 knts Surf / Sea State: choppy Air Temperature: 15C Sea Temperature: Weather: rain then sunny Max Speed: Distance Covered:
I decided that the tide times weren't too good for the estuary today and
the swell/wind combination ,might be too much for me so headed to Bala
instead.
Arrived in rain but the wind was blowing. Rain stopped and wind eased so I
went out on my new Eagle and 5.8m but was pretty overpowered and came
straight back in for the wave board and 4.5m. A couple of other guys went
out on 4.0m and were well powered up but seeing the forecast I hadn't
bothered to bring mine :-(
Hung onto the 4.5m in some mad gusts, UK wind map now showing 36-51 knots
in that area so it was a maxed out day. Over towards the sailing club there
was some huge chop which was good for jumping off and I made a decent jump
on the first run over.
Not been out much recently and soon felt shattered but still a really good
session, great choice of a day off.
