If it goes tomorrow it will be in the late afternoon. Kelso has had lingering clouds all week and it will probably continue tomorrow, which really delays the wind from picking up. From the forecast, Saturday looks like the best bet in the last 7 days.

May get windy tomorrow, but Saturday may not be the greatest wind wise. Sunday they are calling for probably the best wind out of the three days, but that's just the forecast.

First time Joneser's keep in mind that tide is also a factor... when the tide is coming in, it can be pretty hard to get upwind if the wind is light. You'll most likely be on an incoming tide Friday & Saturday. Sunday the low tide will be later, around 5pm, depending on when it blows you could be on a out-going tide for your session.
