In case anybody is tired of the east winds at Rooster, keep an eye on Jones Beach. I think there's a very good chance it's gonna go westerly pretty soon...

How do you think it's looking for Tuesday? Forecast never seems to be very accurate....iKite will predict 8-10 then I see reports of it blowing all day at 20+

make sure you read the human forecasts on ikitesurf. They come out at 7:30 am and 7:00pm. The hourly computer forecast is pretty useless except for general trends.

Pretty much what I was going to say.

There's a decent chance for tomorrow, but it'll probably depend on how far in and how deep the marine clouds penetrate tonight. And that depends in part on how well it goes off at Jones today. If the clouds come in too deep, they may not burn back far enough tomorrow for Jones to develop well.

Don't know about today - much less confident either way. There's a fair amount of high clouds and associated "disturbance" that could keep things from developing. Gradients don't look as favorable as yesterday.

On the other hand, I've seen it go other times when it's looked similar. Just really low confidence with this setup.

That how I feel also, gradients are all wrong. I'm near jones and high clouds are here, some sun though. Looks like a skunk day, if it does get some wind not sure how long it would last or how bad the lulls would be.
