Setup looks good for Wednesday Thursday and possibly Friday too. I'll be working in Cannon Beach and have a place to crash if anyone wants to do a Ft Stevens downwinder. Otherwise I might hit Manzanita. Scott 593-481-6294

Today
N wind 20 to 25 kt with gusts to 30 kt. Wind waves N 7 ft at 7 seconds. W swell 5 ft at 10 seconds.
Tonight
N wind 20 to 25 kt with gusts to 30 kt. Wind waves N 7 ft at 7 seconds. NW swell 3 ft at 8 seconds.
Thursday
N wind 15 to 20 kt...becoming NW 10 to 15 kt in the afternoon. Gusts to 25 kt. Wind waves N 4 ft at 5 seconds. NW swell 4 ft at 8 seconds...subsiding to 2 ft at 9 seconds in the afternoon.

From Temira:

Keeping an eye on Manzo cam this week. If it shows signs of clearing, will head out from PDX at noon. Typically use the southern launch at the border between the town and the state park.

Pretty good day, 2 10s, 1 11, and a 12m from Shipwreck to Del Ray. Manzanita looked a bit windier from ikitesurf, maybe 9m

I should have checked here sooner. I wanted to do a downwinder but didnt find any shuttle partners. Need to check here more often. I ended up riding in the young bays bridge area into Warrenton instead, was super fun spot. Tempted to jump the bridge, is a nice thought but too crazy for me.

I could make it out to shuttle a DW at 4:30. Is that too late for anyone?

Good Ten meter conditions for the Ft. Stevens downwinder on Thursday, Stringfellow killing it on the strapless foil, sorry no pics. Only 4 kites out, Sea Lions and whales a plenty.

Heading out to Shipwrecks again today 12:30 to 1pm should be great.

Good to know it was 10m since the Clatsop sensor was only showing 13. It really is low on those NW days. Probably 20 eh?

My 15m Turbine turned out to be a Jones killer. Who knew?

Im 215, and could have ridden a 11m with a flat board, but I stayed on the 15m and my 136cm TT. Great session of floaty air.

Good to ride with you Erratic.

Clown car after clown car packed with kiters doing down wind shuttles at Ft. Stevens all afternoon long.

What a great day on the coast!!

A nice little break and then tomorrow should be exciting Wink
