Windsurfing: Tarifa Valdevaqueros Wind Direction: E Wind Stength: gusting 51.5knts Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Pete dropped Rog and I off then went to Palmones as so windy; chap on beach
measured 51.5 knot gust, and it was windier out to sea. A couple of hot
shots went out with 3.7m and 4m in mental wind, and one even did a double
forward loop; I assume he meant to.After a couple of hours it moderated so
went out on 4m overpowered in gusts but got through lulls on 76l Mistral
Wave which was 08 model and not quite as manoeuvrable as 09 model., but
this was survival. After high water sea smoothed a bit with some nice
faces. managed to negotiate through chop on way out, but some gusts were
just too strong. really pleased to get mroe gybes in than failed. Spent 2
hours either sailing or waiting for gusts to die on shore. Super day that
felt like a real sail. Guys returned from Palmones saying little wind
there; it was all in Valde!
