Hey Jen when deciding if conditions are safe for a beginner is is very important to remember that if the wind is blowing strait onshore or even onshore at an angle this increases the danger and difficulty factor immensely, especially for beginners. If you cant use the board yet you wont be able to get away from the shoreline starting point (upwind in onshore wind).If you have a problem the chances of hitting the beach and any obstacles on the land increase dramatically. Although you may be chomping at the bit to get out there today (Sunday) is not looking like good conditions... pretty much onshore. It still may be worth a look down the beach but Monday, Tuesday and Thursday look to have better potential.
Hi Snal,
If Im not wrong, woodies beach 3 will be cross-shore today with a NW direction, am I wrong? You are definitely right on the on-shore one, especially if Im still not good at tacking. If you have any suggestions they are well welcomed :) Apart from Woodies, any other beach recommended for newbies? Thanks!
