Windsurfing: Brandon Bay Wind Direction: SW Wind Stength: Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: Overcast/showers Max Speed: Distance Covered:
We were woken early in Castlegregory by the forecasted gale so there was
much suprise when we turned up at Dumps to find absolutely no wind
whatsoever. And no swell either. We could see however that it was bonkers
windy over the other side of the bay at Gowlane - probably too windy. Jamie
Knox turned up and in his wisdom predicted that the wind would reach Dumps
in a very short while. It did and we were soon stacked on 4.0s. But the
swell was still crap and a hint of onshore in the direction meant it was
like Hove but worse due to port tack gheyness.
3 hours of onshore mush-bothering was more than enough so we decided to
leave Dumps and check out Gowlane. What did we find? Perfect head high
clean lines? Yep. 45 degree cross-off direction? Yep. And the Wind
strength? A no way sailable 40-50 knots... :(
That perfect cross-shore groundswell session continues to elude us. Early
tomorrow morning might be our last chance.
