The wind finally arrives!|Sailing Plans|Forums|Hickling Windsurfing Club

A number of new members who have joined the club over the last few weeks have been asking me when will it be windy enough to sail properly and which direction is best?

Well, all this high pressure is great for planning a BBQ 3 days ahead with complete certainty, but useless for we windsurfers. A forecast is only a forecast, but have a look at http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/nr12 and http://www.windguru.cz/int/ind…..p?sc=54059 and you can see that the week ahead starting Sunday 28th is predicted to be south westerly, and wind strength in the mid teens mph-wise. That’ll do nicely!

Today Sat is a bit light and easterly but go and have a practice. Then for Sunday onwards, those of you reliant on parents for transport book the taxi service now, and those of you working, well, don’t. Go sailing instead.

By the way, don’t worry about rain because you will be getting wet anyway. But avoid thunder…..

See you on the water!
