Typical Metrobeach Day

Metro Beach, Monday July 23, 2012 


Almost a givein day at the Beach,  nearly 100 degrees with WSW winds forecasted. A day where you had to go at any cost. 
Typical MB conditions with a brief period of steady cranking 5.5 conditions. Perfectly flat conditions in the small bay upwind from the launch site. The outside was very confused due to all the windsurfers and kiters. Good swell was nowhere to be found and weeds sticking to the fin compounded the problem.

Sail Time: 5.0 hours between 2:00 - 8:00.
Gear: 5.5  Ezzy and 101 liter RRD.
Conditions: Side on WSW, Erratic Metrobeach winds of 15-30, confused swell with flat water on the inside.
Weather: Air mid-90s, bluebird, water mid-70s.
Wind:  SW-WSW erratic Metrobeach winds.
Schooled:  Just plain old blasting along, and hero jibes.
