Sandra just sent me a note saying the terminal was supposed to blow today. All afternoon according to her information. Can anyone confirm? WNW wind.

Strange. What you just posted doesn’t line up with what Sandra sent me. I would post it here but I’m a tech tard. Dunno how to do that. L’r

Have you ever seen Alton post an ikitesurf forecast? Probably not. It's always over optimistic. Wind has switched NW and it's clearing out here now.

Yeah I hear you. I’ve been refreshing the surface weather page every few minutes. Sandra and Scott are there now. One winger pumping up atm but not sure even he’ll have enough. Unfortunately Sandra didn’t take her foil gear. My car is packed but I’m loathe to leave before I see something more promising. Not feeling too confident as it stands. :(

Sandra says it’s 6 degrees but surface weather says 11. No idea who’s right.
