19th October 2005 Windsurfing: Shoreham Wind Direction: SSW Wind Stength: F4-5 Surf / Sea State: Medium waves Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: mixed Max Speed: Distance Covered: Shoreham actually produced the goods for once! I sailed from around half three, but should probably have got down sooner for the biggest waves and best wind. When i arrived, the sea was just around the bottom of the groynes and the swell was around chest/head height on the bigger ones. It was pretty onshore, but clean and well spaced. Rigged 5m quick and got out there. And it was worth the rush, good for playing on the waves, steeper ramps for jumps, although I was a bit underpowered and under volumed. Wind eased and I rigged up to 5.5m. Then it was just a decent session, always 2-3 foot ramps and rides. Viscious current at first, but this eased down with the tide. Highly enjoyable, some sweeet back-side lip thumps. Right at the end a nasty dark storm cloud came through (earlier had seen lightning over the massed kites at Lancing) and just at that point the wind went cross-off. Typically, pulled the front footstrap out on my first down the line turn, but carried on with loose foot for a few small rides before total wind loss. |
