Hard to say what it will be in the morning, But it can be calm at Troutdale and E @ 30 at RR. Generally an Easterly forecast in the teens at Troutdale means 7m at RR. The Ikitesurf sensor at RR is good for showing trends, but actual wind on the water is a lot higher. Here's a good sensor for showing winds at RR. (The gust factor is usually the steady state wind at the ponds for easterlies.)

It says Washougal, but it's really East of the ponds close to Skamania Island |

I am confused. This is what you all are looking at right now right? Smallest kite I have is a 12m. I know rooster is a little more than the trout most times but am I gonna be screwed if I show up with a 12m?
Thanks! |
i think that you can usually double that airnet forecast pretty safely...
maybe you'll get some time in early or late, but it'll be nuked 90% of the day tomorrow, I'd bet. |

It's already E @ 15 or so at the ponds, pressure differential is E @ .04 It's going to be windy tomorrow. I'm heading up by sea at 10 - 11 or so. I'll be stopping wherever the wind is good. Low tide should be about 11, so I might ride the flats. |

| You have to kite DW to them, its about 1/2-3/4 mile. Much quicker than hiking there from RR |

Hey guys, have fun, but be careful.
Hanky time, huh?
Don't take any risks if it seems too nukie. Just wait a little and be a little late going to work.
You're way more important to us, than "a schedule". _________________ (>====<|> ---< |
