Wind forecast still good until the weekend.
Tomorrow Richard and I will try out the Rock. Waves seem more interesting and more selections.
Thursday maybe a little lighter (20-25 knots) so I can go kiting instead -- I kind of miss it.
Big question for me is whether to stay here until weekend or head back to the Gorge... Hmm decision decision decision..
Oh things can get 'interesting' at the rock for sure.
Try and pick a low tide (less shore break and tempered waves) for your first session, if you can. If the intensity of south coast is starting to wear thin, consider starting to make you way north SLOWLY with stops at Bandon, Florance, Newport, etc to check for sailable conditions, particularly if it is nearing the end of the cycle (although the end of the cycle is not that well defined right now - as Nanmoo noted over on BWD it seems like the never ending high pressure system right now). But is does look like there will be solid kite options on central and north coast later this week. The problem with leaving the coast is as soon as you do, you may miss it terribly and feelings of deep exhaustion, longing and separation anxiety may arrive.
Enjoy the rest of your time! And please take some turns for those of us that are only there in spirit!
