KMG is calling it correctly. Instead of forecasting with the 8-ball focus on sending that last email from your office...moving the 4:00 meeting to next Monday.....and charge that smartphone for the drive.
For motivation.....go look here for endless white caps and waves crashing the Sandbar because it's on like Donkey Kong son!

| No need to guess. A couple hour session lit on the 12 and no one around at the forbidden spot. Not very gusty either. Pretty sold low 20's with no complaints. What a day. Great couple of days this week. Wish it was warmer today as compared to a couple days ago .. |

You should have gone to Stevenson. It was about 10 mph less. 10 meter would have been fine there. I was at sandbar in the morning. I flew my 9 - but was way overpowered by the time I came in. I should have gone out on my 6. |

Thought about it as I was heading home and glancing at the breaking swell... I could have sworn I saw a barrel on a couple of them...

| Sandbar was sweet on a 6 yesterday. Solid wind, not nearly as gusty as it often is. I love September kiting... |
