The week ahead, from Sept 12th
Right then, here we go again... I wonder what the weather gods will throw at us this week.
At the moment it looks as though there could be some wind from the SW tomorrow (Tuesday).... I won't be able to get out until the
evening unless I can find a helpful babysitter!
Then there is a possiblity for Weds and a better possibility of some more wind on Thurs and at the moment Friday is looking quite good
with a decent low pressure system hitting the UK and tracking across the North Sea to give us some Northerly winds... The weather
patterns this week are driven by the remnants of hurricanes (first hurricane Maria and then hurricane Nate) though so once again these
medium range forecasts are subject to major changes as the models aren't usually too good at predicting the movements of hurricane
remnants. (according to Metcheck)
So once again, it is all up in the air (literally) and we may or may not get some wind!!

Well, as predicted not much wind today but the surf is beginning to build and looks as though it should be bigger for tomorrow and
Wednesday too:
Surf Forecasts for Borth.
Still looks as though there might be some wind around which may mess up the surf but should be enough for kiting... I have to look
after Morgan all day tomorrow, so might go out for an early morning surf before Anna gets up and then out for a kite / windsurf in the
evening.... If the weather plays nicely.
Looking further ahead, things still look pretty good for Friday.. Maybe some mad NE's in the estuary??
The tides are getting pretty big by then though so timing will be critical!

about 15 knots at the momnet, but increasing.

How was it out there then??? Where's your diary enry Spooker... I could see you kite out yesterday afternoon, along with Chris, Larry
and Derek. I decided against it in the end despite the wind being good... Well, a rest day now and then doesn't do any harm!

Ye - need to get down to this diary thing - next time!
Only bout 8-10 knots when I arrived at 3, but I knew if I stood in the water with me kite long enough it would pick up. 14m weather for
me all afternoon, tho very gusty. Ended up playing tag with Larrys dog in the shallows (have to work my way up to jumping him like Col)
- 4 of us just cruising up and down as the sun set - excellent!
