17th August 2010 Windsurfing: Ynyslas - Aberdovey Wind Direction: NW Wind Stength: 20 knots Surf / Sea State: 1-2 foot surf Air Temperature: 17ºC Sea Temperature: 16ºC Weather: Cloudy Max Speed: 27.2 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 23.15 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise) An excellent session perfectly powered on my S-Type and 5.6m sail which gave just the right amount of power for some fast blasting but completely in control and comfortable. I decided to head upwind towards Aberdovey. The upwind stretch was nice and it meant that I had to contend with lots of different sea conditions on my way. 1-2 foot surf near the shore at Ynyslas, rolling swell and chop further out, then short sharp chop over the Dyfi Bar followed by the flat waters of Aberdovey. Once over towards Aberdovey the wind eased off quite a bit. It was fine on the way there but once I gybed there was little wind to get going again until I was back out into the channel. I therefore had a couple of runs on the Aberdovey side before heading back on some mad downwind runs back over the bar to Ynyslas. In total I covered over 23 nautical miles with an average speed of 15.76 knots and a maximum speed of 27.2 knots on the downwind run from Aberdovey, just as I crossed the flat water to the lee of the bar. A really good session. More info and a map here |
