Windsurfing: The Dip-Felixstowe Wind Direction: ESE Wind Stength: 15 Surf / Sea State: rolling waves Air Temperature: 5 Sea Temperature: 7 Weather: sunny Max Speed: 22.6 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 1 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise)
Went to the cliff top for breakfast with Mag and there was a couple of
kiters and a windsurfer out but were struggling abit as the wind was
onshore and the wind lighter than they thought!!! It was low water and the
sea looked great I decided to give it an hour-big mistake !!! By the time I
had rigged 7.5 on the xantos the tide was coming in with a big break but i
made it off the beach fine and headed toward the Fludgers and the waves
were great but pushing you to the beach,I turned by Cobbolds Point and
realised I was not going to make it back upwind so I turned again and ended
up right on top of one of the rock groynes and luckily I was washed over
the rocks with the only damage a couple of holes in my beloved xantos !!!
(must see if I can get one off ebay cheap) I packed up and walked the mile
back to the van as I was not going to risk launching as the groynes close
together and the swell big !!! Not one of my better days !!!
