At the beach the wind was blowing 18 knots. Three meter down on the sea it was 11 knots at best. Waves were pretty high so it was nice to gently test 0.5 metre waves, but I could have done with slightly more wind. First time I really ventured out a bit at Eastern Beach. Not easy to get away from the beach with these high waves.
