Windy Weekend on the way.
justal - 6-8-2002 at 06:06

I know its still a long way off, but early indications seem to be pointing towards a windy weekend. (Its about time). Anyone coming to Borth, ot fancy meeting up somewhere else in Wales??

Of course, the forecast could all change by the weekend.

Its still looking good according to the Inshore forecast:

quote:
Outlook for all UK Inshore Waters for following 3 days:
becoming mainly south to southeast 2 to 4 on Friday although perhaps west 5 to 6 around the southwest of england for a time. Winds becoming mainly north to northwest 3 to 5 on Saturday, increasing generally north to northeast 4 to 6 occasionally 7 on Sunday.


And the isoabr chart for Saturday looks OK too:

Does anybody else get strangely excited by isobar charts that have lots of isobars over the uk? I havn't been sailing in weeks! Roll on Saturday.

woo hoo windy for the weekend I've only been in london 3 days and I'm gagging to head back to the coast ! Roll on Friday ! ! !

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, BUT it looks like it won't get here until Monday. Sunday may be ok but more for Monday..... ah well we'll see, forecasts are often way off. Fingers crossed

Hi wind freaks,

it is still a while off until the weekend. I try not to get excited by forecasts that are longer off than one day. But this low pressure system is big enough to bring some decent wind.
According to the wind forecast I have seen on the internet there will only be 15 knots on Sa or Su though.

See ya when it¥s windy!

Oh well, it looks as though it won't be here until Sunday evening and Monday now... Still Saturday should be OK for kiting and we may get some windsurfing in on Sunday and its looking good for Monday!!!

Will anyone be around on Monday??...Joe??

Al.


Joe - 8-8-2002 at 11:43

My forecasts don¥t go til Monday yet. (But will do so this evening.) But yes, Al, if it¥s windy I will be there.

Friday evening and Sa morning could just be sailable with force 4-5. I might come to stay at the beach. Are you going to be there?
Maybe we can talk about that again tomorrow.


paul - 8-8-2002 at 16:44

wow a windy monday and I have the day off work !

fingers crossed !


justal - 8-8-2002 at 18:23

Joe. (and anyone else)

Tomorrow could be OK...this is the Inshore Forecast from 5pm tonight (Thursday)

24 hour forecast:

Wind: east to southeast 4 or 5, gradually backing northwest 5 or 6.
Weather: spells of rain.
Visibility: moderate or good.

I can be free for the afternoon if you're coming to Borth (I've already told the people I'm working for that I won't be there if its windy!!)... You can stay here too.

Al.


Joe - 8-8-2002 at 20:28

Al,

I aim to be at the beach tomorrow, Friday, between 3:00 and 4:00 pm.
I`ll stay overnight and will bring everything I need (I could sleep in the car).

Will you try your new kit?


justal - 8-8-2002 at 20:49

I'll see you there Joe...I'm only working just down the road, so if I'm not there give me a ring.

Will I try the new kit???...Of course, thats what its for.

Anyone else coming to Borth this weekend?

Al.


Dave - 9-8-2002 at 14:16

I am not in Borth this weekend as I'm off to Ireland tonight, (for a week), so no doubt the Irish sea will be rough, I hope you all enjoy it though.


Joe - 12-8-2002 at 08:14

Hi everyone,

anyone going to be at the beach tomorrow, Tue, or Wed?
It looks like it might be some mellow fun in a force 4-5 south westerly.
If yes, I am thinking of driving down.

See you then.


justal - 12-8-2002 at 18:12

Joe,
I can be around tomorrow (Tues), but not until late afternoon...unless of course the conditions look epic! I might have to work most of the day on Weds though.

You didn't miss anything today.

Al.
