November starting with a bang

Lots of wind and waves, Sunday onwards.

Looks like my run of sailing Bigbury is set to continue. Daymer could be good too.

Hopefully I can take some time off work monday or tuesday.

cheers,

Wind today!

But will it hang around for the late tide at Exmouth (16:20)?
Could be good with the wind going from Southerly round to WSW.
Other local spots like Sidmouth or Sandy Bay could work today. Sandy bay has beach at all tides and Sidmouth has a beach for low tide and reef that can work with the tide up a bit.
As for travelling - Bigbury is a bit onshore, Daymer probably flat, so as long as the wind's around I'm probably staying local.
Got a new board (Starboard Quad 86) this week, so I'm really hoping for some nice waves.

EDIT: Not enough waves at Exmouth, so off to Bigbury!

Sunday afternoon at Bigbury

Been umming about what to do this weekend. I was hoping it would be better than it's turned out.

However, it looks like Bigbury has got some wind and a little wave to go with it. Hopefully, it'll start to break as the tide drops this afternoon.

Speed Training


Looks like Tuesday will bring good southerly's / south westerly's 20Kts. Tuesday Low tide is around 3PM looks a bit late for the wind. Hopefully Ill get a bit of training in for the Weymouth speed week. Anyone fancy a challenge on Tuesday, give me a call in the shop and Ill lend you a GPS.
If its not speed conditions Ill be forward looping, have you got the balls to give it a go. Come down on Tuesday and have a shot!!
