Windsurfing: Foryd Bay Wind Direction: SW Wind Stength: 50 knots Surf / Sea State: Choppy Air Temperature: 6ºC Sea Temperature: 8ºC Weather: Rain Max Speed: Distance Covered:
When I arrived at Dinas Dinlle at 9am there was a perfect wind for my 4.5m
and big board, but I thought I'd wait for Steve who was due to meet me
there at 10am. By the time he arrived the rain was pouring down and it was
now windy enough for my 4m and little board - Actually, after looking at
the conditions for a bit we decided it was too much even for our smaller
kit so we headed around to Foryd Bay for some shelter
I rigged my 4m as flat as possible and my small board and struggled across
the road and gave it a go. I managed to sail across the bay and back, but
it wasn't pretty. Full on survival conditions in 50 knots of wind and mad
chop. Not a lot of fun so I sat on the beach and watched Steve try to get
his kit to the water.
After several unsuccessful attempts to cross the road where he got blown
back to the cars fighting his kit like it was a rabid dog he eventually
made it to the beach. We both then had one run across the bay and back
before deciding it was far too windy. So we struggled back to the cars and
indulged in some extreme de-rigging instead!
