Tide looks like it flips ~3:00ish! Tomorrow's Airnet forecast is GOOD!  |

Tide wasn't an issue yesterday. I think there's still enuf flow that the tide switch isn't a deal breaker like it can be later in the summer. Plus it's supposed to cool down tmrw. SI likes it hot. _________________ Lets FLY |

Yeah, but regardless, the tide was right for you yesterday. Just saying, it's better to have flowing out. Maybe not a deal breaker? If any of you get there before 3:00, toss a stick in and see what it does, please!  |

I'm thinking of getting out of this seat I've been stuck in all day, and getting out there soon.
Flydunes has me kicking myself for 'not going'.

But that tide chart is from 2008... Here's what I'm using.
http://www2.findu.com/cgi-bin/tide.cgi?tide=2625
Follows my iKitesurf tide chart with ~4 hour delay.
Not trying to argue. It's just from all of my experience there, the tide always seems to make a difference unless you're lit. |

Adam - That's a good point! I forgot to update my bookmarks and didn't notice the damn YEAR that was listed.
The 2009 NOAA chart at Knapp Landing says that we WERE kiting in good tides yesterday. But we will be today too. High tide is at 4pm today. "FindU Tides" for Knapp Landing agrees. _________________ Lets FLY |

the current was cranking so hard at 6 yesterday - you didn't need any wind at all
would think spring runoff trumps tides _________________ Go Deep!

OK, but you probably won't get to shoot as much bull and drink as much beer as we will. _________________ Lets FLY |

Hmmm. The Fremont actuals are still looking good, but the gradients are starting to fall apart... _________________ Lets FLY |
