Hope we all luck out with this one. That is no damage and some quality riding time. Monday is way in the future with this one but right now it looks dicey.

MONDAY
TROPICAL STORM CONDITIONS POSSIBLE. NORTHEAST TO EAST
WINDS 25 TO 35 KNOTS WITH GUSTS UP TO 45 KNOTS...INCREASING TO 35 TO
45 KNOTS WITH GUSTS UP TO 55 KNOTS IN THE AFTERNOON.
SEAS BEYOND THE
REEF BUILDING TO 8 TO 12 FEET. SEAS INSIDE THE REEF 2 TO 4 FEET.
NEARSHORE WATERS VERY ROUGH. NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.

If there are big clear weather holes between the feeder bands and squalls may work out for expert riders with care and monitoring in lighter winds. If not, wouldn't mess with it myself even with a 6 m. Just looking back over a loss in Seattle involving similar wind speeds earlier this year. Good luck everybody, keep an eye on this one.
