Bank holiday wind perhaps ?

Early to get too excited perhaps, but certainly looks like some wind may appear this weekend.

I am heading off to Rhosneigr on Thursday night for a long weekend and Friday looks promising.

If you believe the forcast this morning the next 4 days look very promising.

BUT....

went out for a gentle sail last night just to get warmed up for the weekend, and ended up cracking a couple of ribs - so now I'm just a spectator

I'm SO PISSED OFF

Nice one Spooker!

It's no fun being side-lined is it.

Hope they heal up soon.

Heading Up to Rhossy for the weekend with the boys and their toys, may bob back to Borth for sunday night if the forecast remains as it is (mist/rain).

Tried Hells Mouth last week. Got parked in the car park eventually but the local surf dudes in their beaten up transits did not seem impressed. Hot no wind on the Saturday and then a lashing of rain on the Sunday didn't sail. Mind you looks a great spot for a southerly when it's not the the hols season.

Plenty of wind this morning! SimonC has headed across for a windsurf already. I'm on Dad duties all day so can't get out.

Grrrrr....

Mind you, it looks as though there will be wind around for the next week or so... Here comes autumn.

Well the wind and waves didnt disappoint at Rhossy this weekend.
Did end up with mist and rain from the sunday afternoon onwards but otherwise a top weekend.
9m on Friday, 15m and sunshine on Saturday then back to 11m for Sunday and Monday.

All in all a very enjoyable weekend.

I knew if I bought the 17m that the wind would kick in !

Autumn ???
Don't write off the summer yet Al.
Still a few more weeks for that golden orb to delight us with its presence.

Well, that is according to the Met Office anyway ! LOL
