Windsurfing: Littlehampton Wind Direction: W Wind Stength: Session time = 12.30-3.30pm Surf / Sea State: HT@10.45am Air Temperature: Milder than expected Sea Temperature: Weather: Sunny spells no forecasted rain :) Max Speed: Distance Covered:
A frustrating day that was almost very very good. Big wind and swell was
forecast but an expected veer from SW to WNW made choice of venue
difficult. Decided on LA which turned out to be pretty much the right
place. However the wind was playing ball - up and down and all over the
shop...first nothing, then bonkers 4.0, then 4.5, then nothing again, then
5.2...and predictably I spent much more time on the wrong than the right
size. There was a golden hour towards the end when the sun came out, the
wind stabilised to a slightly cross off 5.2ish strength, gusty but very
usable out back with plentiful chunky sets piling in. But I was blobbing
downwind at this point on 4.5 without enough time or motivation to trek
back to the carpark and rig yet another sail, so instead had to suffer the
sight of Guy on the outside who had time the change up to 5m to perfection
jammy git and appeared to be having a great time in the waves. Grrrr.
Oh well you win some you lose some. At least today's HWIFY reports from
other beaches suggest it was not significantly better anywhere else, even
out west.
