Going to Hood River

I'm thinking of taking a trip to Hood River in the next couple weeks. What are some of the best sites people to use to check the wind conditions. I looked at WindGuru and the wind seems light... Ryan
Anyone else taking a trip South?

I'd be interested but not 100% sure of which days I can head down. I think the week of the 24th would probably work best for me. Not sure if that is too late for the conditions there.

Thanks Alton. Dallas is down at Maryhill and said he was overpowered on his 4.2M but he wasn't expecting quite the same wind for the next few days.

Have a look at the models but do not base your decision entirely on that, this is a very weird year for the gorge and they have been wrong a bunch of times.
Unusual but even with high temperatures the wind was still blowing, sometimes even hot wind.
