What forecast do you use?

WindGuru is usually one of the most accurate, but it is best to look at a few. Wind Guru tends to under-estimate for Borth, which is much better than over-estimating!

Im keen if theres wind Neil. Wont be there in the day as I have to pop to swansea, but keen for the evening sesh


mNeil - 22-6-2007 at 07:37

i look at windfinder.com and find the wind predictions far better than most


Spooker - 22-6-2007 at 08:13

mmmmm....

even windfinder only showing a peak of 10 knots over the w/e, think this might be another one that I sit out at home

oooops - I'm repeating myself

www.xcweather is another one, looks pretty bad wherever you look tho! May be up Sat night but looking unlikely given the forecast. Wind and Sun dance needed to please the weather gods!


shem - 22-6-2007 at 16:23

Not looking good and this afternoons wind has gone as well!!!!!

all you disbelievers!!!!!!! stayed at home and got bored.as for sunday well super sunshine and a burnt face!


justal - 24-6-2007 at 20:21

Where were you out from Neil? .... I got on the water at 5.30pm here in Ynyslas but there was no one else about, just one guy buggyinh on the beach.

nick-r - 25-6-2007 at 09:11

i think he's getting the times a bit muddled al...we were all off the water just before you arrived..5 people out in all and the pks guys warming up for their weekly aber evening session...


justal - 25-6-2007 at 09:36

Yeah, I saw the kites out before I went across, and could see the vans there as i was rigging up... Wind was a bit light when I first went out, but soon picked up.

It must be Neils age, he gets a little muddled at times!!

Al.


nick-r - 25-6-2007 at 09:54

he probably forgot to reset his sun dial....not sure how windy it was.....at a guess i'd say about 15 knots...i was nicely powered on an 11m..but could probably have been on a 9m when the wind picked up.

anyone about tomorrow (tues)....


justal - 25-6-2007 at 10:08

It got quite a lot windier in the even... peaked at 27 knots.

I'll be about tomorrow I should think.... My 10am meeting has just been canceled!

Al.


nick-r - 25-6-2007 at 10:53

me and darren b should be on the beach by about that time.......see you there..

it was at least 20 knots when i had to get off the water due to having 2 lumps of jelly where my legs were supposed to be.....


danh - 25-6-2007 at 11:15
