Wissant

Fed up of North Easterlies and with another one forecast this weekend it was time to try somewhere different. So I hopped in the van and caught a ferry to France. Wissant is sometimes referred to as the 'Hawaii of the North' and is ideally suited for both a North Easterly or a South Westerly.

Saturday was a stonker. 5.2 was just about spot on. The sun was shining and a small swell rolling down from the North Sea - perfect for riding and jumping. I only came in when I could no longer hold on!

Monday was also forecast to be good, so I was at the beach for 7.30am (in the pouring rain this time). Unfortunately, the wind never came, instead hovering at the top end of a force three and really gusty. So it was back on the ferry, a little rough this time, and back home. Weymouth next weekend, hoping that brings more great conditions...
