Hi all,

Just got back from the Oregon Coast; had a smashing good time and a great forecast but was just wondering if anyone knows the best time of year for wind and waves? I would like to plan another trip for next year and want the best odds of good wind. What is peak season for the NW seabreeze?

I recommend you follow the BWD crew like Dave/C36 and Michael do. They seem to pick the best days.

June looks like a good option (for the south Oregon coast). :D ;)

May / June seem to be quite reliable, Pistol River is by far the most reliable area so just head down there. Dana sailed almost every day in May this year. I been a few times in June and have been lucky.Dana's site: http://www.boardheadinternational.com/the_Megazine/up_front.html

It's settled then.

Next June we all do a WTF road trip down the Oregon Coast.

What's the recommended mast budget? Is 1 mast per week good enough?
