Kalama Saturday?

So the wind forecasts for Saturday seem kinda dismal pretty much everywhere right now, except that Kalama looks like it might work if it takes a north wind.

I've never kited there. It looks like you just take the kalama exit off 5 and head toward the river.

Are any locations there better than others?

Does it work on a N wind or do you need NW?

North wind seems best. NW wind can be good sometimes too. Only one spot to launch anymore since they dredged the river and dumped a huge ass pile of sand on the best beach!!! Bastards!! Evil or Very Mad

What time are you going and I might be able to join you??

Has a big grassy area to launch from just watch out for all the fisherman... East wind is great also.
Here are a couple links were you can get the approximate wind conditions:

This is the only spot I found. Lots of friendly fishermen. You can park right on the beach.

Where do you get Kalama forecast from?

I got the fcst from iKitesurf.

I'm not going to make any plans until I see some actuals tomorrow. Actually, I'm really hoping for it to switch to east coz there's another place I'd rather go, but I'll take what I can get.

It's looking like it'll switch by the afternoon, better enjoy it before survival kiting starts on Sunday.
