Westport WA? I've never been windsurfing there but have thought about it. I'd be very curious to hear how it goes.

I actually have windsurfed there by the bay. Just stay away from beach break and should be ok.

In the end I went there and it was epically strong... Sailed inside the bay, quite big swell started to feather there and sort of brake. But the wind was so strong that was impossible to even ride something... Great experience!!! With less wind it must be epic.

Thanks for the report! What sail size were you on? Did you go check out the south side of the Jetty?

Wow, it looks crazy! Must have been a challenging with the on-shore winds!
