NWS doesn't offer much in its forecast:
THURSDAY
SOUTH WINDS 5 TO 10 KNOTS. SEAS 2 FEET OR LESS.
INTRACOASTAL WATERS A LIGHT CHOP. ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN THE MORNING...THEN SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN THE AFTERNOON.
Try not to get your hopes up this time of year. Useable wind is just too rare. At the same time, thermal winds can come up rapidly without much warning or forecasts at times, so it is good to be paying attention and ready to roll. These days there have been some bumps up in breeze during the day at times but not much at quiting time.
We could get some useable winds tomorrow even if NWS says nothing about it. If it stays clear, without much of a cloud buildup or rain, the odds go up for thermal winds later on in the day.
In non-hurricane years, August has been like a millpond the wind has been so light. The cold fronts should be coming soon. Hang in there and fingers crossed.
