NOAA: Saturday: Sunny, with a high near 60. East southeast wind around 7 mph.
It looks like a beautiful saturday. but will it be windy?
do you guys think it'll be windier than forecasted?
I guess I'd rather get skunked at the coast then have a shitty session at the airport.
i think.
there will be easterlies around Airport-Viento....
hmm.

I'm going to get a Stand Up from 2nd Wind and bring it out just in case there is no wind we can scurry down to Short Sands or Pacific City.
I'm not sure where you're getting that forecast, but look here (Click the green zone):

If you go SUPing at short sands you'll be done just walking the board down and back. Those things are so freaking heavy. Try go somewhere where you can drive up really close to the beach if you want enough energy to actually ride. Although I wasn't super impressed with the riding either. I think it'd be fun if you have nice smooth long breaking waves. Not so good in shore break. Longboarding would probably be more fun at the Oregon coast if your wetsuit's warm enough. Sounds like a good day's lining up for tomorrow though. Have fun!

| It's not that bad of a walk. Besides once you get there, you get to chill on one of the coolest beaches on the coast.

Hehe, I'll wait for your response after you carry an 11ft SUP down there. Gman and I had fun just getting them from the water to the houses in Seaside (tide was super low).

FYI, ikite = sailflow (same engine)... neither is very reliable for the coast yet... especially in the winter.

It looks like RR is nuked out. The sesnor is reading 28 (which means its probably 48 ) and Stevenson is reading 30 - lotta wind out there to catch!!
