Got 2 hrs in marginal E 16-18 on 12m+surfboard with the usual easterly chop. Hoping for better conditions tomorrow (Sunday).

Foilers looked fine with high tide. I didn't hear any complaints.

To my eye, one thing that is clear is tomorrow.

For today... Hard to call based on mixed models (strength, timing and direction). I'm thinking to target a late morning arrival.

The most optimistic forecast I see is the 7:30 am iwindsurf forecast:

I've observed mixed results for this one. Airport forecast is more east (100 deg) coming in say 10am??

Presently it's up and down wind:
