Some water-shots from yesterday at Sunset Beach. There was no swell. I hope to head to Platboom today.

windy days but a bad forecast

Image
After two days with no wind and a lot of driving, we got a big day in at Elandsbaai. Probably some of the biggest waves I have ever sailed. But there were also some mellower and very clean walls to be had.

Still windy

We've been windsurfing every day since Monday. Even today we could find a spot with wind. The forecast doesn't look really good for the next couple of days but by Wednesday next week the South-Easter should be back.

Day 4 and 5

Great sailing yesterday and today. A bit too windy yesterday though. Big Bay in the evening was a bit mellower. Today we went down to the Cape of Good Hope. We saw big waves in Platboom but didn't sail them as there was nobody out. The wind was quite light anyway. After that we followed some pros that were just leaving the beach and thus came to a great new spot. A reefbreak far out and a dumpy beach break further in. A photo from yesterday, spot: Big Bay

Day 3

Second day at Sunset. Wind a bit more cross off today. Waves smaller and dumpy. Here are some pictur es:

2nd day in Capetown

Great windsurfing at Sunset Beach today. Windy enough for 4.7 and good-quality waves to be had. Quite a crowd including some pros out though. All in all a perfect start to our stay. Here's a picture captured from a video, so it's not the sharpest one on earth:
