Pics of riding NW wind out on the channel. Added beer points for pics of the early season car-jack freaker pacing back and forth on the grassy dike while waiting for you to hit the water.

| i havent been to SI since they installed the SI Light 13 sensor. Do you guys consider it to be an accurate reflection of what is going on at the beach?

No. It's on the predominant wind's lee side of a big line of trees. Both wind sensors at SI are placed in locations that are excellent if you don't care much about wind.

hey guys, I'm wondering what is your best resource for forecasting wind for PDX?
I'm set with gorge, coast and jones as Ikite handles this pretty good but wondering how to better forecast for PDX/couve/Kalama corridor?
thx-stringy

For sauvies I think people concentrate all of their hopes and desperation into a single focal point and will the wind into existence.
For the northern part of the corridor Kalama/Woodland you should look for a North wind forecast in Kelso. I've found that an 8mph+ forecasted North wind in Kelso (via noaa.gov) will generate a kiteable wind in Kalama or Woodland. Woodland also tends to go off on days that Sauvies is going, and tends to go off a little more often than Kalama.

| oh, and forget the on-sight reports. if it's blowing, it'll poop out before you get there. if its glassy so you don't go, it'll pick up and you'll hear all about it from the mayor
