Windsurfing: Posh Beach - Cooden Wind Direction: WSW Wind Stength: better earlier !!! Surf / Sea State: coastal surf / waves Air Temperature: ok - prob 9 degs C Sea Temperature: chilly but ok Weather: sunny & windy Max Speed: Distance Covered:
All the signs were there for a classic winter weekend session ..... strong
winds and rain overnight with some swell about, then dropping and going a
bit more cross shore and sun coming out. Temps nearly in double figures
too.
Plan A was to get down to Posh early, but that went titsup as my dad popped
round early to say hi and held up my departure ....
So, got to the beach as most were packing up. Went for the 104 Freewave and
a 5.3m Ego, but probably should have gone for the 5.9m !!
Got planing straight off the beach, but as got 50m off the beach the waves
stood up a bit, and the wind dropped off ..... so back in to the beach,
tweak kit, and walk back upwind a gain ! RIP was on form as I'd missed the
falling tide due to late arrival, and now had the incoming tide and it's
RIP punishing me.
Had a few runs out and back, never venturing far, and frequently hitting a
lull right as the waves were folding and having to do a U-turn !!
Pretty crap session, apart from the fact that it was nice and sunny, and
not too cold, which made a really nice change from recent weather we've
had.
Hoping for better tomorrow !!!
