Windsurfing: Ynyslas Estuary Wind Direction: NE Wind Stength: 13-18 knots Surf / Sea State: Flat Air Temperature: 13C Sea Temperature: 8C Weather: Sunny Max Speed: Distance Covered:
I got to the beach at around 7am and found Shem packing up after being
overpowered with his 6.3m C-Quad. I rigged my 5.7m sail and Fanatic Cross
board and got out on the water. I was nicely powered up and had a pleasant
sail on the flat waters of the estuary. BEFS then turned up at around
8.30am and started rigging a 5.8m sail. By the time he got on the water the
wind had eased off a littlem but there was still enough to get planing. As
the wind continued to drop, a few other people turned up as well. Radical
Rob came out with a 6.5m sail, another guy with an old big Bic board and
7.5m sail did OK in the dying winds, and Derek, Simon and Mike started
having a good time kitesurfing.
Richard also went out windsurfing as did a few others. The wind then eased
off even moe so I packed up as the water was rapidly disappearing anyway
and the little water that was left was getting crowded with jet-skis and
powerboats. I should have stayed rigged a little longer though as the wind
once again filled in.
Ken turned up as well, but went off in search of accommodation. Hopefully
if the wind holds I shall get out for another quick session later this
evening.
