Many, many thanks to Gabor for suggesting Ambleside. I scored my first session (1hr) at Ambleside on 12m + surfboard. Fun waist high waves leeward of the totem pole. SW 16-18 onshore wind wasn't quite enough to get past the pier but still plenty of fun.
Some hazards to watch for. Keep out of the eastern most cove to avoid strong current and shallow barnacle bottom. I learned the hard way - hit bottom lost a fin and cut (small) my hand.
Gabor says when the Hollyburn sensor shows 9 knots, it should be sailable at Ambleside.
