Not sure about tides for the Knap, but was toying with the idea of their or Porthcawl as best wind? Or even Weston? Again wind only looks good after 3.30/4pm?

Hi Nic
Looks low tide at the Knap tomorrow (Saturday) is around 4.00pm. We usually sail it about 3 hours leading up to low tide, and 1/2 hour to an hour afterwards (but watch you don't get swept around the corner once the tide turns!!).
The Knap needs a bit of sun really to be at it's best. Not sure it is forecast to be sunny either tomorrow or Sunday.
Newton - I'm not familiar with tides there, and the best tide state to sail.
I am still keeping an eye on it - but not tempted at the moment!!
Have fun if you get out.

Hi Justin
I am pondering on a sail tomorrow - I was thinking Knap looked OK.
Out of interest - why are you preferring Newton over Knap?

Hi Sue
Tomorrow forecast a bit cloudy for a 'perfect' sea breeze, but with perhaps just enough prevailing wind to make Newton good (for my 5.7m sail). I could be wrong, but as I much prefer the conditions at Newton (when it is windy) I'm going to take the chance on Newton tomorrow.
