Windsurfing: Felixstowe-Dip Wind Direction: SSW Wind Stength: Surf / Sea State: big chop Air Temperature: 20 Sea Temperature: 17 Weather: cloudy sun Max Speed: 25.9 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 40.1 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise)
Last day off of the summer and got on teh water at 2:50 nicely powered with
6m but the sea was a bit of a mess. I sailed over to the Spit to see if any
waves there but sea was even more of a mess so returned to the Dip. Even
though there was a strong current and the large tide dropped I got back OK.
Wind increased and sea was quite a big messy chop so I changed board and
sail down and sailed for another couple of hours. About 10 on the water,
including Colesy on 9m when everyone else was 5.7m or less! I tried the
Spit again but sea was still a mess so back to the Dip where riding in down
the waves was fun but bouncing out into the short chop and waves was
challenging. As the tide dropped some waves appeared and the flat spots
moved around. Good 3+ hours sailing as dusk drew in and a great summer
evening, pity the sea such a mess so only 4*.
