Lets cross our fingers...........so hard to forecast 5 days out. Accuweather is showing wind. The site below is the most accurate I have used. If it shows anything above 12 - it is rideable and rarely is wrong. It just is not accurate on the high end - meaning it may say 17MPH but it is blowing 20 plus. It is good for 3 days out:

Hey Big R, riefer is not suppose to make you halucinate. Maybe you should give me some of that for scientific testing. Prolly about a Lb should do fine. Always in the name of science.

Backside is good for a SW.. get out to the flats are you are golden.

there are lots of places on the Gulf side as well.. just need to be extra cautious of beach goers.. I like to park and rig at the most norther point of pass-a-grille.. the area between PAG and the pink hotel.. usually very sparse of people..

Not sure it's gonna blow at all on sat.

seems to have shifted to NW on sun., mon. and tues.

but to answer your question, yes SW is doable at eb. Just gotta go way to the very end of eb away from the gusty winds
