Waves at Sea Lane Cafe- Goring | January 17, 2007

Tried a sail on the River on saturday morning the tide was a 6.2 so was perfect as it was level with the bank but unfortunatly the wind was a little too westerly and about 5kts too light. Stopped off at shoreham beach but it was just choppy with a large shorebreak. Headed down to the Sea Lane cafe to find a nice swell rolling in. Wind was a bit fluky so waited in the cafe for half an hour. Launched on a 5.2 and had an excellent hour until a squall cane through and killed the wind. When it had passed the wind filled back in again but the waves dissapeared with the tide. Was supprisung how quickly the waves dropped back and how far the tide went out!

Went back for more of the same on sunday but the wind had swung a little offshore (NW) which created a big wind shadow on the inside. Annoyingly there was not quite enough to get out past the shorebreak.
The remaining swell produced some of the best waves i've ever seen at Worthing.
