| I rode there yesterday from 5pm to 9pm on my sixteen meter Naish. Ran the Skim Board and was lit on my Twin Tip for an hour. Buddy flew a thirteen meter Fuel. |

I'd be up for it but need a bit more certainty, especially since SI isn't showing anything  |

Keep in mind that the gust reading on iKite is actually the average out on the water since the sensor is in a less-than-perfect spot. Also, look for a forecast where AST is 10 degrees cooler than Kelso/Longview and you can't go wrong.
A bit of overcast at AST with clear Kelso is also good.

In that "other sport" we used to say "5.0 @ 5 o'clock" (Which to you is a lit 9M) which is almost the norm in this weather we're having today, with this forecast of partly cloudy for tomorrow. It's the weather beginning to move in that lights up Jones.

not sure what all that means... Does that mean there will be wind there today? |

From his post...Yes
Astoria was at 61 and Kelso was at 74 last time I checked. Looks good enough for me, looking for any excuse to get into the water. |
