I am just beginning to learn to windsurf but so many windy days go to waste because I have nobody to go windsurfing with. I feel like this limits my time on the water more than anything. Every single website I read says to avoid sailing alone (especially as a beginner), but I am just not sure how to overcome this problem of not having anybody to go with. I take all of the safety precautions (life jacket, no offshore winds, etc.) and I am able to bring my phone out onto the water but I'm still hesitant to go out alone. In addition, I sail in an enclosed body of water which would make me feel a bit more comfortable. The photos below show an image from the beach looking across the water to the other side to give an idea of how large this body of water really is. The boats in the image are not currently there and there is no current. The other image shows the beach that I launch from circled in red in relation to the entire bay. There are no other windsurfers in the area that I know of but a lot of dingy sailors and some kayakers.

So I am curious how bad of an idea it really is for me to go out and get some practice in <15 kts with a small sail with nobody supervising me or sailing with me. I am also very familiar with the area as I have been sailing here for a few years now.

Thanks for any input!
