Nope... High tide is around 12.30pm, but it is only 4.2m so should only just reach the pebbles here.
Not looking that windy though so I might have to get my paint-brushes out instead!

great sesh here in Aberdyvi this afternoon. Light winds - 8-15 knots, but out in the estuary with another 6-8 knots ebbing tide was
overpowered at times on the 16m OR1. Might have summat to do with the new Nobile 135X44 he he 
If no-one turns up tonight will probably go over to Borth in the morning - join up with Neil and Col. Is Neil about to start fiddling
a new tune with a bow-diddly kite....???

Just been over to the beach, it's high tide and the water is just about touching the pebbles, although there is still some bare sand by
the last groyne.
Wind is about 16 knots, gusting to 20 now and then but easing off to 10 at times as well. There are about 12 kite-surfers out and it's
raingin a bit.
It didn't look that exciting so I wasn't tempted to go out myself.
The coastguard was out looking for someone as well though. Not sure who, but the 4x4 was on the beach and the Dyfi boat was out looking
for someone or something.

well i finally got to borth just after 11 after a diversion via black rock !
set off from home just after 6.30, got to BRS at 9.00am and no one around.
went to the shop and bought a paper and sat there until 10 expectanly.
turned the car to go back up the slip and saw two large fil kites at the far end ! drove down to check it out and it was 2 guys from
turbulence.... sonicseal aka tall paul and carl999 ( flexiforum posters )
chatted to paul about a snowkiting trip he is organising to norway for april next year. sounds mint. email turbulence for more info.
anyway, spoke to kitefish who said the gang were out at borth so made the trip down there and got on the water before midday.
started off lightish on the 14m but ended up way down wind and a long struggling walk back up.
gave it a few more tries then dropped down to the 10m
hard work to start with but it soon levelled out. either way i need to get my 12m fixed this week.
cheers all, see you guys next weekend. no diversions this time. LOL
sat in sunshine in north derbyshire this morning just letting the kites dry on the line, but no wind here.

Al. It was a false alarm at Dyfi. Don't know who caled the life boat but they were told there was a kiter caught in his lines.
