Youth America’s Cup : Bumpy Seas and Stronger Winds Will Make For An Exciting First Day

The weather today (Tuesday 18th September) in Barcelona will not be as nice as it has been recently.

The sun will be shining, with a comfortable amount of cloud cover, and the temperature will be a delightful 23°C.

The sea state will be quite choppy with nearly 1 metre swells at 5-second intervals. Similar sea conditions in previous weeks have tested the AC75s’ foiling capabilities, making it noticeably more challenging.

The wind is expected to perform well today, with afternoon forecasts showing around 10 to 12 knots. Other than the sea state which might prove to be a challenge, conditions are good and will help provide for some excellent AC40 sailing.
