Jericho just switched west.
Hopefully it will ramp up when tide drops.

I was secretly hoping for more early wind for kiting at Dog Beach Bay on the higher tide. I guess not. Forecasts are pretty good though for something through the morning.

Never mind. Wind dropping at Ambleside but slightly better at Jericho.

Scored over 2 hours on 12m+surfboard in W 15-22 riding waves at Acadia after launching from Spanish Banks.
Still kites now. I'll guess it's W 12-16 now.

Great way to end the week ... with a summer wave session!
Started at Spanish Banks on 12m+surfboard overpowered in W 22g25 but dialed in (W 15-20) when I reached Acadia where waist high breaking waves cleaned up nicely.
Fun riding the waves with Acadia all to myself except a couple of wing foilers dropped in.
Wind was up and down. Sometimes over powered somtimes under powered on 12m. In retrospect, I wish I had chosen 8m+surfboard.
