Why not just try Jericho! I have a feeling Jericho will be NE ;) Windguru supports NE a bit...

Ne at Jericho is always 12 knots gusting 14 knots, even with 7m/130l can't plane, as soon as east switches NE I am done because gusts are weak; unless you have 12m+ kite and 90l board. I never seen ne going over 15 knots; and I am a weekender windsurfer always looking for an easy plane and speed @jericho.
Friday afternoon was 14 knots 18 knots, flat water, east wind. It worked but didn' t hold for more than 30 minutes that way at a time and Friday's forecast was higher than monday's.

Yeah I know it's rare but I have had 1.5 hour 9m kite session at Jericho in probably 15-20. At the beginning it was actually so windy I had to wait to go out becaus I couldn't hold down my 7m kite.

Windyty is showing SE switching to NE around noon, 3rd is probably the place to be then. It is very sail-able on both directions.

On no, not ready for end of days! Friday locust was good but need more. To my eyes there's a chance tomorrow morning but not very compelling since the forecasts aren't all on the same page. Getting ready to shlog on!

Jack, in any case I'll be at Jericho 9 to noon, windsurfing on SE wind, like usual. Probably nobody there, wind may not be strong enough.

Cool maybe I'll see you there. Never tried a SE at Jericho before. A bit hesitant to try it with a kite haha.
