It looks rainy and crappy wind everywhere I am looking around here this weekend. I know it's going to be good in Maui and SPI and other places but is it going to not be raining and windy somewhere around here this weekend? I do not have good resources for checking the good spots at the coast so maybe somebody knows a place that might be decent there this weekend? The whole gorge looks rainy and unwindy Sad Anyways, thought I would start a discussion about it, thanks!

Good Karma breeds good karma.

No wind forcasted last Saturday, but as soon as we finished with Sandbar cleanup, the winds filled in all afternoon.

Ya never know, and a beach clean up ultimately rewards you no matter what.

It's spring.

Forecasts are shit.

They're only good in the summer.

Go to Hood River. With all the micro-climates on either side, something will pop up.

check thegorgeismygym.com
Models are showing some crazy stuff this weekend with a low pressure system in the desert. If that scenario really plays out, we’re going to see westerlies in the 27-30 range tomorrow afternoon, with a good chance of 30-plus at Doug’s and possibly Maryhill. However, there’s also a very good chance of thunderstorms in the desert, and that will make the wind a lot lighter and gustier.

Sunday shows a similar pattern, with low pressure and thunderstorms in the desert. I think the best wind will be in the mid-twenties near Hood River in the morning.

Heck yeah! I was thinking about going out to Hoodie Saturday after I pick up some new kites! It's got a good chance of rain but I gotta get out again and try not to make the news this time haha! Stoked for summer, thanks for helping me out.
