I leave for a trip down the coast tomorrow evening. At this point it seems like no wind is in the forecast for Floras for the rest of the week. Seems like good conditions are about to end sometime tomorrow. I please tell me I'm misreading the info!!!

Ikite forecast for Floras is junk. All you have is the Oregon southern coast marine forecast from NOAA. I was down at Floras for a week last week, and was skunked. The weather down in Floras has not been seasonal this year.

There were south winds most of all last week. Then the forecast turned favorable near the end of the week, but fog shut off the wind. The weather was nice, but no kiting.

Good luck.

Back luck on my part. I was in between fronts. I ended up leaving Saturday after waiting five days. That's the way she goes!

Right answer Exclamation

If you're comfortable in the ocean you may need to come further south to gold beach or pistol to score for the last part of the week. Can give you on site report if needed...pm for details.

dismal flatwater scene down here this year....poor setup in pistol estuary. river mouth still open.
