Windsurfing: Esso Beach Wind Direction: SW/W Wind Stength: F5 with lulls Surf / Sea State: Moderate Air Temperature: Not that warm Sea Temperature: OK Weather: Cumulus with showers Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Arrived at Esso beach with the wind really blowing but no water in the
lagoon and the car park empty. By the time the water had come in the wind
was still pretty strong. Went for the 5.5 but was wondering if I was going
to be overpowered.
Went out and found the 5.5 to be fine but over downhauled so came in to the
beach and took a bit off. From then on it was easy mellow sailing with
increasing lulls thoughout the afternoon.
Later on there were considerable periods off the plane but then a gust
would come through. I was able to do some really long runs up to the north
end of the harbour. Eventually the lulls were so prolonged that it ceased
to be worth the candle but by then I'd had over four hours so no real
gripes.
Had the wind held up a bit more it would have been a definite four stars
but with so many big holes I can really only give it 3.
