Epic Sea Breeze Session Thurs
 
No brainer....there was an epic sea breeze today hitting 20+ out of the North.

A couple of us are planning to hit it up around Clearwater down to Indian Rocks around 1pm.

Come join us if you can, should be a beautiful day!!!!

II don't know. I think it will probably blow ENE in the morning at the SW until around 11am (again). Today nuked pretty good from NNE out there. But tomorrow I would be surprised to see it seabreeze all that great, lots of east in it is my guess.
Hope I am wrong, but that's not usually what mother nature does under tomorrow's circumstances. :) Care to wager and make it interesting? How about ten cents. ;) I might go out there, either way. Donna has the day off and it's been awesome out.

all weather links point to no wind today... am i missing somthing?

Skyway Scott 04-17-2008 11:04 AM

Forecasts rarely predict seabreezes, so Steve definitely has a shot of getting this right and he is definitely wise to ignore the forecast :)
Also, in terms of the NE and ENE, those winds can be greatly amplified at certain times in certain places under certain circumstances :)
Forecasts never hit that kind of stuff. They almost NEVER predict a great seabreeze. As a matter of fact, if Josh Linker actually does say seabreeze, I put a fork in it.

We haven't had that many true seabreezes this year (winds going from squat to NW at 18 plus in 5 minutes and lasting 2.5 hours, then dying just as fast) and I think there is too much of an easterly component in it for the seabreeze to overcome it today. Yesterday was more Northerly, so.....

I could be wrong, but I am still here working and don't plan on burning gas today. I am gonna wait for 7:30 and ride Lassing.

Anyway, it's all a guessing game and if you aren't there, you won't ride.
Last night pretty much cranked though, and that was predictable. :)

SW took a dump and then went due North. That's often a sign for a sea breeze.
Steve-O was right, I guess.

My guess is a kick ass sea breeze tomorrow starting between 1:30 and 2:00 and lasting until 5:00. The East winds are going to be light tomorrow about 5 to 8 mph and clear skies. Who's willing to bet 10 cents?

Skyway Scott 04-17-2008 04:54 PM

:) I would like to go out, if it happens.

Yeah, I think tomorrow might be possible. Tonight at Lassing seems like a good bet.

Change in forecast???
 
I checked Accuweather this morning b/c I had to decide if I was going to play in a golf tournament tomorrow and it said East winds 14-15 in the morning so I said screw the golf - it can wait till summer.

Just checked Accuweather and it now says East at 9 in the am. I'll check in the morning but I really don't want to drive down from N. Tampa to get skunked. Anybody want to play golf in the am and wait for seabreaze in afternoon?
