24 Hours straight of gale force westerlies forecast at the east entrance of JDFS. Totally worth checking the actuals and making a day of it tomorrow. C36, this is the setup that will produce the logo high sets versus the quick switch, insanity and die 5 hour window that West Beach usually gets :D

Thanks for the heads up Chris. Will keep an eye on the actuals in the morning, but Metar TAF for WI and GFS Spotter both seem to show the W being predawn then the direction backing to S around mid-day. TJ's loop also seems to be showing the same (and this is the one the locals seem to trust).
