30+knots nuff said.


Al are you up for a session tomorrow morning early. if the wind is blowing.

Yep.... I've just said that in another post somewhere... I'll try to get out around 6am as long as Morgan doesn't keep me awake all night.

I saw you come back from the estuary again this afternoon around 3.30pm... Did you go out again? I went back out around 5pm and it was even windier than before.. Getting up to 40 knots at times.

yer popped up to have a look and to get away from the ebay. wind was the same so went back to bid on the van.

we are now owners of a converted transit. hope it fits under the bar at the car park.

hope to see you on the water first thing. looks as if the swell is picking up too. as i said, i love this place.

Cool... yet another member of the van brigade then.

Swell looks as though it should be good tomorrow, but the wind has eased off a bit now... Hopefully it's just having a bit of a rest before coming back with a vengeance in the morning!

See you on the beach.

Al.

Chris... I didn't go to the estuary earlier as there wasn't a huge amount of wind, it does seem to be filling in a bit now though, but I have to be at work by 8am and it is now 6.45am so I don't really have time.

Looks as though Ynysals was in a league of its own again at the weekend... According to everyone I've spoken to there was no wind at all anywhere else on Saturday. And on Sunday there are a few decent diary entries from South Wales and the S. Coast, but nowhere near as much wind as we had here. Looks as though it will be cloudy for the rest of the week though so it might not work every morning... Lets hope for more of the same next weekend.

I'm usually a west kirby/ rhossy sailor and am quite envious that u lot have had a good weekends rippin' while i've been out walking... I've therefore decided to start checking Borths 4casts in case I'm missing out - but I can't find borth on windguru - so was hoping u could tell me which is the best venue on windguru to look at in relation to Borth. Can u help? Cheers.
