High tide at 11.12 today.

Got there and rigged 6.4m and went out on Mistral Flow (113L). Nice run out just about powered up. Fell in as I turned and the wind had dropped. I floundered for a while and without enough to waterstart decided to uphaul and wobble back in!

Had to go and carry my big board down from the Bluff car park (oh my back hurts) and bought down the 9.0 and 7.5m sails.

Just about to rig the 9.0m when it picked up again so I went for the 7.5m Tushingham. I'd already derigged the Trixx but now wished I'd left it. Anyway went out on the F2 Thommen and 7.5 and started blasting over towards Carbis bay and back. Had some decent dry carve gybes but not too much speed on the exit and very fast reaches! Another good session and more fantastic scenery.

Nice 1ft waves on the inside and a little chop on the outside with a little swell rolling in. Good fun.

Came in through the Estuary before the tide dropped too far. 4 stars as I couldn't decide on what kit to use and spent a little too long rigging.

Nobody else out just the life guards paddling around in the surf and the helicopters passing over every now and then. Can I move here?
