Windsurfing: Hove Wind Direction: SW Wind Stength: Session time: 6-7.30pm Surf / Sea State: HT@2pm Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: Sunshine :) Max Speed: Distance Covered:
After a trip to Sainsburys I stopped off at Hove on the way home 4.30pm to
see if the wind was still blowing. It was, and Guy and Simon were just
about to launch. The shorebreak and water state didn't look too inviting
though so I chilled in the van with the cup final on the radio waiting for
the tide to drop whilst G+S racked up the bottom turns. ;)
By the time the footy had finished (grrr Chelski jammy gits) contrary to
forecasts it was still windy...sea breeze..huzzah! So I rigged the (brand
new) 5.8 and had a much more enjoyable sail than this morning. Conditions
were by no means epic but late sessions at Hove have something about them
which is always good for the soul. A much smoother water state, pleasant
evening sunshine, and Brighton sea front and piers as a back drop...all
very relaxing. Then towards the end the wind picked up a smidge and the low
tide ramps started to appear allowing some decent jumping to add a bit of
spice to the session.
Glad I got out for session 2 after the disappointing earlier effort at
Worthing.
