Looks like a moderate westerly could happen today, metartaf is saying 15 all day, BWD is on board as well. Clouds are really moving in kits right now.

Richi, are you gonna launch from Acadia? I've got no booties these days, so I'm a little reluctant to launch from there...

I'm debating on ferry terminal and Spanish banks after work around 3:00. Please post OSR if you can

Too bad, you'd have been good on your 6.2m when I was out.

Pretty ok session for me. Nothing insane, with quite a bit of futile upwind slogging, but the few good powered up runs, drops ins and turns on swell definitely made it worthwhile.

Pretty sure there was some current, as I ended up way downwind of Dog's Beach. The water state down there was actually really fun: flat with clean "mini swell", but the wind was much more patchy. I should've used my Makani fin for a bit more power. Glad I got out nonetheless, as the forecast for Friday has evaporated...

46 days, Alton, watch out!

Pretty good day at Jericho, lightly powered to maxed out on a 5.7. Sorry no osr's as I forgot my phone at home. I drove up to Acadia at 5:00 and it seemed a little lighter there than Jericho. Still plenty of wind though as Norvin was ripping on a 6.5.
Tony stop being such a glass half full kind of guy, your nothing OSR was way off.

i went to Jericho just to see 2 guys attempt to go out on 12 and have trouble keeping their kites in the air at about 3:00. On my way home at 4:45 swung by kits beach and saw 2 kites out. Managed to catch a 30 min session there, just a shame I wasted time at Jericho.
