Windsurfing: Felixstowe-Dip Wind Direction: SSW Wind Stength: Surf / Sea State: chop Air Temperature: 16 Sea Temperature: 19 Weather: cloud Max Speed: 23.4/2secs (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 14.2 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise)
AS soon as rain cleared went to Dip and was on water 9:30 on 115l/6.4.
Windier than it looked and 96l/6m would have been better. Others turned up
and wind gradually eased and went a bit offshore giving a 30m wind shadow
until wind went well offshore so I gave up. Others stayed out but after a
recent long swim in when wind switched off fast I played safe.
Earlier I tried 6.4m on 96l but sail a bit too big, but boardmuch more
comfortable in chop. 'Old school' 115 corks and rises up on gybes in chop
but nice gybe in smoother sections.
Had long ride in to near blue hut so wary of rocks went out slowly looking
for weed and breaking water. Saw none then clunk as fin hit rocks and
knocked off and I drifted in.
Best wind for ages but sea a quite choppy.
