Windsurfing: East Runton Wind Direction: NNW Wind Stength: F5 Surf / Sea State: waves Air Temperature: cool Sea Temperature: 18 Weather: cloud Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Only been here once before and broke a mast. Arrived with tide still high
and no windsurfers about so explored the beach and village a bit. Local
turned up and reckoned not good until about 4pm. When he rigged so did I,
76l/4.7m. Sand bar about a foot deep. Not enough wind as it dropped a bit
so back to get 5.3m. Third sailor turned up and I watched him wait for
break in sets and set off. I waited for break on sand bar and planed off,
then shoulder high steep **cker came up, I headed for shoulder which filled
to steep wall and I got munched and mast broke. Two visits and two broke
masts; well it was old anywhay (gritted teeth). Sea looked good and 5.3m
would have been good. Localsaid If I waited until sand bar cleared sets
woudlhave been further out, so easier to plane through. 2 hour drive home
to eBay.
