When can I windsurf?   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #219 of 446 |
As the weather warms up, what is the general rule of thumb for
windsurfing? I was thinking of going this weekend, would a 3/4 full
suit with booties, hood and gloves be alright (assuming I spend the
majority of the time out of the water). Does anyway have some
insight between water/air temps and survival rates or if I'm an idiot
for trying to do this? I'm an intermediate windsurfer (and actually
live in CT, but I hope you won't hold that against me).

Brian, I noticed the winds are going to be 15-25k (which is ideal for me). I noticed a windsurfer out two weekends ago and have been debating this. I think I...

Hi Serkan, There are a couple of decent places for wind, if you're up for a 5-6 hour drive. Hatteras would be my first choice. Canadian Hole, or anywhere on...

Hi Brian, I decided not to go, the weather dipped into the 40s and the water temp was about 40 or less. I saw something about the rule of 100, basically you...

Hi Tom, You made the right decision. 40/40 is a little chilly without the proper gear. If you were using a steamer or a 5/3, you probably would have been ok......
