Computer models do not look good.
Anyone seeing anything I'm not?
Looks like the surf could be good though with offshore winds.

Umm, yeah
So for the wrap up.
Temira says east at rooster tomorrow around 21-25, nothing in the gorge on sunday.
Airnet says VERY light westerlies switching to north then east up to..CALM! on saturday, same shit on sunday.
Ikitesuck says east then west on saturday in HR highs of 6 knots.
and Nak's forecast (Noaaa?) is saying mid twenties in HR on saturday and sunday late.
SO basically what this means is that winds are going to suck ass in general and your best bet is to just follow Gman. The wind just follows that guy.

It's the University of Washington Dept Of Atmospheric Sciences forecast. They do a pretty good job. Like everyone else, they tend to underestimate RR Easterlies.
