Definitely not Cypress. That place SUCKS as soon at veers from NW to NNW and even worse on N, unless you really like gusty wind.
It will be going NNE as it cools, is my guess.

Cypress is only good on a South. Bridge takes all the chop out, still a bit gusty. But no crowds..

Sucks, Lassing sucks, too shallow, crab traps, fishermen casting at you, benches signs and trees obstructing the launch area. You guys are crazy to ride there! Skyway and East beach are the best places to ride.

Thumbs up

Picnic Island would have been the safest bet (Sharks in the Channel not withstanding). It jets out to the South West so anything from due north to South West (the best wind for the spot) will work.

IDK, sounds like Sean hit the cherry spot today.
That's where I would have gone (IRB or so) but I was just too tired.

Rode at the skyway with Toby, Woodson, and others. Less wind today but still alot of fun.

Saw Haus on a bow kite, thats a rare sighting but he was still rippin!

I like LP but since I landed on my head in the muck last time I just don't like riding there at low tide! My head is fine, although some will argue that it actually never was to begin with!
