Thanks for the feedback guys. Those who have been to Wedge will know what the sand is like, I would recommend saving some fresh water for the drive home to rinse your eyes out after sailing. It's hands down the worst sand there is.
I'm not sure exactly what direction the wind was, probably something like ESE. I didn't have my gps with me or my anemometer it was maybe 15 knots of breeze, so top speed was probably in the vicinity of 45-50 knots according to the smile on my face.
