It's on again! Looking at the Corbett sensor, around 25 - 27 on the water. Have fun!
No riding for me for a while. Oral surgery today.  |

Hey Nak, I thought you had that done yesterday at RR by Dr. Clubby D. Chihuahua?  _________________ (>====<|> ---< Last edited by hamlindp on Tue Sep 16, 08 8:15 am; edited 2 times in total |

Nakster,
Where did you see 25-27 at Corbett sensor? I don't see it. It must have already shutdown.  _________________ (>====<|> ---< |

I think Mike is extrapolating the data and giving you a real water wind speed.
Would love to go again... Actually NOT. I am beat.. _________________ Cleverly disguised as an adult...

On drugs and hurt, so bear with me... anyway, corbett sensor is showing 31 now, press diff is holding at .1 PDX - The Dalles. So it's looking good for the near term. Probably about 30 up at the Ponds. I think it's going to shut down earlier today, but thats just a feeling. I think it will go light about 3?
I heard it was punchy up at RR yesterday. Reed island and the west half of the Nak Flats was a very smooth and solid 11m wind.
Thanks to funkysub for this sensor:

It's on the water between RR and Skamania Island. I've just started watching it; I think the gust factor on that sensor might be a pretty good indicator of steady state wind at RR. |

I always assumed it blew more on the water at RR than the Corbett sensor. RR sensor is gusting to 19mph so it's probably blowing 10-15 more than that, but Troutdale is a WSW 5, which is weird so maybe Rooster isn't totally nuked out. In any case bring your 5-7m kites if you go . It's hard to know exactly what's happening until you see it. _________________ The Slider Project, LLC
