Wind
 

I saw on Ikite that Tues & Wed are going to be good. Was going to hit Whale Harbour .

Can I trust the forecast???

Not sure about ikitesurf.com forecasts these days. I understand they have a meteorologist checking the forecast now unlike in the past. Historically, I would say don't even bother to look at the forecasts on that site as pure machine generated forecasts haven't been that accurate. Lots of other good info there though.

NWS does pretty well in this part of the State, this is what they have to say ...

Looks doable by the forecast. I would keep checking the site as the time comes closer.

Just an update. I went to Whale Harbour on Wed & it was great.

Disapointed to not see more people there but having the place practically to yourself is not a bad thing either. Winds let off at about 3 pm but i put my 17Contra & was lit till 6 pm. At that point I was the only one left & called it a day.
What a spot, thanks to the guys from Seven Sports , super nice people.
I dont know the story but I'm sure they have someting to do with making that spot accessable to kiters. :mrgreen:

Glad you had a good time. Even a place like Whale Harbor can get crowded so enjoy the space while you have it. Yes, Brad opened up WH when it looked like Holiday Isle was to be wacked and converted to an expensive condo development. It is great he found a place so close by and central to things down there.

glad u had a good time!
