Friday looks good...anyone about?
Hello All,
The forecast looks great for tomorrow ... warm and windy so I've booked a day off to get a long overdue 1st sail of the year in! Is
anyone else likely to be out at Ynyslas around 11-ish?
I'm spending the weekend in Snowdonia so if nobody's around I might just go straight there rather than Borth - can anyone recommend a
safe spot in an easterly ... I'd probably get up there around 12, an hour or so after high tide. Dinas Dinlle looks possible but I'd
also considered Bala lake ...does that work well in an easterly?
Cheers
Nick

Nick if you want to live a bit longer stay away form Bala,if you are kitesurfing that is. the lake works best on SW anyway as it rips
down the length of the lake.boy is it cold!!
the estuary at ynyslas is ok but can get well gusty.
there is llygwy ( if i could spell it) on the east coast of angelsey just around from molfre, a great place.
if you chossed the estuary ,no doubt Chris will be out there with his kites and a few of us will be up saturday.
hope this helps and have a good one.

Yeah I was looking at that Nick.
Its looking very good for tomorrow in the estuary. Could be a classic morning. I've been out there on my own a few times but I would
expect one or two people to be about at this time of year.
Unfortunatley I can't get a day off. But For an easterly I would strongly recommend staying with the estuary especially as they are
neap tides.
Bala will probably be rubbish in an easterly its gusty enough in its favoured SWly.

forth. at least when its low its lovely and flat

certainly was gustymungous, I was getting readings from 16 to 34 knts on the wind gauge- so I reckon if I could've switched kites from
a 15 to an 11 to a 9 and maybe a 7 whilst on the water, i'd have been havin fun! - or maybe if the hellfish has a super wind range
hmmmmm.??

I'm not back yet... Wind was OK here for a while this morning, but then dropped off, but at least it wasn't as gusty as you lot seem to
be reporting from Ynylas.

Had a great session maxed out on my 5.0m and wave board in the estuary. It was a bit gusty though, a day for windsurfing not kiting.
A few out windsurfing from aberdovey as well but I didn't venture over that side.

Was that you playing in the main channel, around lunch time / early afternoon chris?
There were 3 of us out from Ynyslas side and I could see a few out from Aberdovey in the distance.
Looked like you were having a good session ;-)
