Went to the ponds today....really windy. I was overpowered on my 12 M80.
Really good even after low tide.
Should be good Sunday.....prob 20 to 25 mph today. |

Wow, so throw the noaa forecast out the window....they said 5-15..
Nice, so even if I get there at 11ish...you are thinking it will still be blowing.....? might be a better bet than rooster.. I'm not totally confident in feasibility of Rooster's gnar this time of year..I'm thinking it might be nuked-out tomm anyways. |

Chason - It looked totally do-able if the wind dropped and levels stay the same , though I didn't go out. From vista point, it looked as if shallow water extends quite a ways out - more than last year. I have been there multiple times when the water is at this height, and it is totally do - able. From my experience, if the water is at or near the level of the stairs, it just isn't worth it.-C

We're looking at getting out to the Ponds early. *Crosses Fingers*
I need some wind. My lame ass tried to snowshoe up the swift creek trail to the tree line at Marble Mnt Sno-Park on St. Helens today for some wind, but I failed misserably. First I got lost, then it was so late in the day that I had to turn around. Plus it was super icey. BLAH! |

| Tucker, give me a ring in the morning (I'd call you now, but I don't have my phone) after you know what you're doing. Might head to the coast for a few hours in the morning. Gotta be back in Portland by 5:00 though. |
