Sunday?

Looks like SW tomorrow. I guess this is white rock? Or crescent?
Never kited either spot.

I'm going to try 72nd and look for my board

After shaking the house all night, the wind has dropped at dawn in WR. Still Blowing SSE, but only 10knots, no whitecaps. If anyone is going to try WR, try soon as tide is rising fast. Hopefully it picks up when it switches more SW.

I am headed to 72nd with my LW gear to help mark search for his board.

Mid Teens in WR, high teens Crescent. Come on out.

Thanks for the OSR but it's going to be anti-climatic after yesterday's 7m day at 3rd Ave and today's fresh tracks at Cypress.

After no wind at 72nd, checked out Crescent which was blowing good but tide was high and I forgot my launch tool. Back in WR, six of us went out. Was at times overpowered on my 15M. Came off at 11 when it backed off and tide was very high. Sketchy coming in, we lost a bunch more grass last weekend.

Wind and lower tide came back around 2, looked like 10-12M to me, it is still blowing.

However, I checked out the new clearing to the east by the train bridge. Park behind the WAG and walk east. Two of the guys launched from there. Great high tide launch, room for a few kites and running lines. Much shallower water, smaller waves, less people and less wind shadow. Still mighty close to the tracks though, make sure you watch out for the AMTrack, it runs quieter and faster than the other trains. They also don't always sound their horn by then. Overall, pretty sweet though. Too bad my WR parking pass doesn't work down there.

Glad you scored a session today. Thanks for the new launch site. Steve Grider mentioned it to me once but I almost forgot about it.

Is it possible to self-launch and land there using a tether (launch tool)?

might as well post... under the radar.
NW at 0.6m, with 25knots at strait.
Peak is at 4pm, so there may be some wind 3:30-4:30pm locally if anyone needs the exercise. surf at wb by then as tide under 13ft as well.

Thanks for the heads up Gabriel. Wish I could have made it, would have been a nice early christmas present.

There was a log that made it down to that end that the guys ran their lines over. Should work fine, but it would depend on the wind direction. Yesterday was pretty on shore, was blowing more SSE than SW.
