Just a thought Rob, by Firday afternoon there won't be much water in the estuary... If the wind is E and 30 knots I might try for a
flat water speed session off the sea-front instead... All depends just how much water is left in the channel really... I'll take a look
this afternoon as the tide heights are the same for today and tomorrow.

Still looking good for tomorrow... I should finish work at around midday, so could get to the beach around 1pm after I've pfaffed
around getting all my kit into Anna's car!
I checked the estuary today at around 3.50pm and there was virtually no water at all so I'm hoping that there will be enough wind for a
session on the seafront. Failing that I might sail in amongst the sandbanks of the Dovey Bar (launching from the seafront) but if there
isn't enough wind for that I guess I'll have to find the biggest channel I can in the estuary and use that... It's gotta be good for my
gybing anyway having to turn around every 100 metres or so!

Oh well... I did 'forget' to mention that it was also snowing pretty heavily when I was there this arvo, and has been on and off all
day long. It's gonna be cold out there!!
Talking of snow I was talking to someone who was up at Lake Vyrnwy yesterday and he reckons there was plenty of snow up there for
snow-boarding on, and there is even a light covering on the local hills here again now, so we may end up making another trip to the
hills this weekend!

Not that windy yet... But it was blowing a hoolie last night.. I've just had to wander around the garden picking up the debris, finding
the dustbins and garden furniture etc and extracting them from various hedges!!

Just got back from there and it is a bit gusty... around 18 knots at the mo, but has been gusting to 25ish in the last hour.
I'm gonna wait to see if it fills in a little more then head off to the seafront if there is enough... Too many people trying to get on
the TV in the estuary!

Can anyone give me an estimate of the times the estuary is likely to be kitesurfable with the tide times for Saturday and Sunday?

Typical... The wind is beginning to pick up a bit now that it's getting a little too late for me to go out.
There should be enough water between about 6.30am until 12.30pm tomorrow.
