5/17/06--what'z the deal?
 
Is it going to blow or not today? I am a crazed jonzer and I want to charge. Unless you are a top-secret agent on double secret probation, document your riding plans here.

I am sketched on today. I woke up bright and early and watched Bay News 9 only to see Josh Linker(t?) adjust his forecast from 10-15 knots all day to 5-15 knots in 10 minutes. I didn't feel too confident in his forecast after that so I ditched my plans to call in and drove on in to work...

I will probably try PAG or the backside of the Skyway around 4:30 PM but you are never there to ride with me then anyway, Bone!!!

Toby. Trust me, if "Josh says no --- its gonna BLOW! (seabreeze)"
When he says it is gonna seabreeze, I get sad, and just plan on mowing the lawn :cry:

I think tomorrow has better chances, so I am really hoping to ride tomorrow as well.

Did Josh give tomorrow the thumbs down? (let's hope so)

I will be giving Cypress a try today with Chris Moore. I will be out there around 4 or so. I am thinking around 13 knots or so.

Its starting to pick up on the beach now. Still alot of NE but it is starting to go more N and should be NNW by 2pm.

IRB should be where its at. Southside SW is another good option if its light on the northside.

Skyway Scott 05-17-2006 09:49 AM

Yeah,

It'll be NW today for sure. It's just whether the beach or inland is gonna blow harder. Today has all the "ingredients" for a NW blow (how hard, who knows?)

I would be leaving work earlier if I could and driving to the beach, but am stuck til 3:30 and have noticed that if forced to ride around 4pm, that Cypress seems to peak at 5pm on NWs. The beach (when it does seabreeze) is commonly already done by 5pm.

toby wilson 05-17-2006 09:52 AM

Me neither, only I don't pretend to know like he does...

Skyway Scott 05-17-2006 09:57 AM

So Toby,

Where are you gonna go?

toby wilson 05-17-2006 10:18 AM

I think I'll wait until around 3:30 to see what the faulty sensors say. That way I'll have about a 90% chance of getting skunked again!

But seriously, I'd rather ride flat water (backside skyway) but it will depend what the wind is doing. That will be my first choice, then probably Indian Rocks just because it is closer than Cypress (and I have no gas and no money until tomorrow) and if neither of those are happening then I'll cave and (use credit for gas) drive up to Cypress.

Skyway Scott 05-17-2006 12:00 PM

DAMN... skyway sensor just hit ZERO.... I am gonna miss the seabreeze that is gonna start in 20 minutes at PaG.

Oh well, cypress at 4, I guess.

Skyway Scott 05-17-2006 12:16 PM

WHOA... that was FAST... skyway is already at 15 knots!

Someone hit this #$%t!!
