Greetings again from windless Tarifa. Is it my imagination, or does it seem to be windier at Borth than most other places in the UK?
Is Al just lucky or is he making up all those diary entries?
The question is, what¥s the wind normally like there between July and end of September? Just wondering....
Andrew

Hmm... cheers for the info. I guess as ever it¥s pot luck wherever you go. Here in - ahem - ¥windy¥ Tarifa, we have diddly squat wind predicted ALL WEEK!!! Ah well, will just have to sit in the shade reading windsurf mags, drinking tea & eating fig rolls. It¥s a tough life.
Well.. I was out again yesterday with a 5.7m and again today... Looking even windier for tomorrow as well.
I think Borth does get more than its fair share of wind. Its known as a pretty windy place by the locals.

It's the windiest place I've ever lived, but it is not that predictable.
One advantage is that you can sail in most wind directions, as you can either go to the estuary or to the front.
I don't get out as much as many who live around here, (I'm still trying to get my waterstart sorted so I can feel comfortable in the
waves), but it is a good place to live.
I also have a full time job!!!
I didn't make it out today as I had to cut the grass, and stuff and by the time I got there it was raining like hell. We also get lots
and lots of rain.
Serves me right - See my diary entry for today.
It's been windy all weekend, until I decide to go out.
Well, you could have experienced the other 5, 6 and 7 o'clocks and got out in the morning on the estuary!!!
Hehehe... They do exist, honest!!
Al.
