But if you had the skills and the experience (and maybe a source for masts and sails) you could have a blast here. I hadn´t sailed in waves of consequence for a long time neither had I the experience of sailing this spot nor did I have an endless supply of gear. On the other hand, the conditions were really tempting. So, I pondered for a long time if to go out or not until later in the afternoon the wind dropped.

A Genoa low (also known as Genoa Cyclogenesis, Ligurian Depression, or V(5)-track cyclone) is a cyclone that forms or intensifies from a pre-existing cyclone to the south of the Alps over the Gulf of Genoa, Ligurian Sea, Po Valley and northern Adriatic.
The northwestern Mediterranean and the Gulf of Genoa in particular, are not only a transition area for passing cyclones, but are frequently areas of cyclogenesis.[3][4] Low pressure areas move into or are formed as a result of North Atlantic air entering the Mediterranean Sea between the Alps and the Massif Central, via the Rhone Valley, or via the Carcassonne gap between the Pyrenees and Massif Central.
