what is the windsurfing like in atlanta?
For those just learning, it’s a summer sport. Warm water temperatures and fresh water lakes make cruising on a long board fun and comfortable (no wetsuit required). The occasional windy day in the summer will let those with big sails/shortboards get in a planing session but usually you can count those on 1 hand from July to August. For the more experienced the season really goes from September to May (yes, through the winter). Sail ranges from 4.5-9.5+ will be used with maybe a couple of days requiring something smaller. See “What time of year is it windy?” There are a number of fresh water lakes around Atlanta from 30 min to an hour away. Drive a bit further around Georgia and you might catch a breeze Atlanta misses. Trips to West Point and Clark Hill (Augusta) can be rewarding. All are man-made, Georgia has no natural lakes.
