When will the gorge be kiteable for mere mortals? I'm thinking water temp > 45 degrees. Anyone have a link to historical water temps for Hood River? I need my fix!

Based on averages: >45 on 3/29 >47 on 4/8 >50 on 4/23 Time to get the gear tuned! bigjohn Since 13 Mar 2012 664 Posts Addicted Mon Mar 10, 14 12:40 pm    Below average temperature year As can be seen from the following link, the water temperature of the water is below average this year. Might take a little bit longer than your estimates reflect. http://nwis.waterdata.usgs.gov/or/nwis/uv?cb_00010=on&format=gif_stats&period=&begin_date=2014-02-10&end_date=2014-03-10&site_no=14105700 or a 2 year history: http://nwis.waterdata.usgs.gov/or/nwis/uv?cb_00010=on&format=gif_stats&period=&begin_date=2012-01-01&end_date=2014-03-10&site_no=14105700 _________________ Kiting starts at 40MPH JeffT Since 07 Jul 2012 238 Posts Deep Southern Portland Stoked Mon Mar 10, 14 1:01 pm     nice link! _________________ Jeff bigjohn Since 13 Mar 2012 664 Posts Addicted Mon Mar 10, 14 1:16 pm    Top level link Since We're sharing links.... http://waterdata.usgs.gov/or/nwis/current/?type=flow&group_key=basin_cd Top level link to multiple sites (scroll down to until you find "Columbia River Mainstream". Some of the sites have relevant additional data (Gauge Height, Stream Velocity) which is great for determining beach heights, and river current. I just wish they had a good link for John Day Dam!!! _________________ Kiting starts at 40MPH        Northwest Kiteboarding -> Gorge / Portland / Oregon Coast All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Northwest Kiteboarding Discussion Forum----------------Gorge / Portland / Oregon CoastFor SaleLost & FoundIndustry SoapboxCGKA  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum You can attach files in this forum You can download files in this forum
