:D Arrived at 10:15 to find DWD and Doug sailing in powered 4.7 wind. We joined in the fun and the wind increased to very powered up 4.0 conditions within an hour. As soon as the wind started to crank the swell instantly got big with a strong rip along the shore. We had to downhaul our sails to the max to handle the conditions and it stayed like that for a couple of hours. There were awesome jumps to be had close to shore in steep swells but farther out it seemed choppier than usual especially once the tide started to ebb around noon. The wind lightened up around 3 pm for a short time and then came back up just as Paul, Dave and an unknown (to me) sailor came sailing up from Paul's, and they enjoyed good conditions as the waves got nice again in the break zone. All this and not a bit of rain all day. Woohoo. :D
