For example a paddler travelling at a given speed in a 10 knot wind will need to paddle against a force against him which has increased by four times to maintain the speed if the wind increased to 20 knots. It is the wind pressure which must be overcome by a paddler to make headway when paddling into the wind. Shelter provided by the cliffs and dunes at Anglesea beach The predominant wind was from the NNW. The following figure indicates the way in which the cliffs near the surf life saving club buildings and the dunes at Anglesea beach provide an area of relatively sheltered waters under a NNW wind. It also indicates the lack of protection provided by the land at the mouth of the Anglesea River. The sea kayaking activity was carried out close to the surf life saving club at the western end of the beach. Sea state at Anglesea beach on 3 May 2016 The predominant wind was from the NNW which created an offshore wind. When sighted from the shore the sea looked deceptively calm. This is illustrated by the following image taken by a Brauer College student about 0615 on the 3 May 2016 at or close to the Anglesea Surf Life Saving Club.

Predominant wind was from the NNW, that is, offshore. Findings
