Anybody think they'll be any wind this week? I'm out from Vta, CA with a 12-m Caution Answer and hoping for some wind and waves. Hoping that somewhere between Jupiter Inlet and WPB will be happening. Would even consider a downwinder with a cab ride, just to get out.

Had a bunch of sick days last week out here on the 7 and 9-m kites, but with cold water (52-degrees) due to upwelling. Can't wait to shed the rubber out yer way.

Take care...

Looking at the forecast, it is to be easterly 10 to 15 kts. all week. If some days are clear, afternoon thermals may build that a bit higher. The Lower Keys are 15 to 20 kts. over the first part of the week in the forecast, however few waves down that way. We had some nice wind over this weekend, up to 25 kts. in some areas yesterday. So, depending on your weight and board size downwinders may be the way to go. You won't need a 5 mm wetsuit but it doesn't seem likely that your 7 m will get much use here!
