Windsurfing near Waterville

Windsurfing from the car park at Waterville offers the convenience of being right in town for those of the party who are not out on the water.

Rigging is on thick lawn right beside the car, a real pleasure.

The conditions, while not usually as extreme as further along towards the golf course and beyond, can be wild - There are always plenty of spectators, so make sure you choose your rig wisely or you may offer more entertainment than you would like.

Conditions are best in westerlies to southerlies - S-W is dead onshore - Northerlies and N-W can offer good flat water with a side shore.

The shore break looks worse than it usually is - With the waves breaking right on the beach walking out a short distance is the order of the day.
