Was in Torbole Lake Garda today, hoping for a sail. Not enough wind to bother hiring some gear. Am here for work and only had today off. Sean was the event on Garda? Is Torbole usually OK this time of year?
Actually the event was in Riccione, about 3 hours south of Garda.
Torbole is perfect this time of year! As long as there is no rain, it should be windy every single day. In the morning (if you can be bothered getting up so early) you get north winds sometimes 20-25 knots from 6-9am in Malcesine (5 mins drive south from Torbole) and then at 9am it goes glassy on the lake...
Then at around 12.30pm you'll get south winds usually 12-20 knots at Torbole till about 5pm each day. Launch from Conca which is the first windsurfing club if you walk from the main part of Torbole about 400m from the big roundabout. Should be good everyday like this and there's tons of gear to rent (although its Naish).
