Danimal.
I would shoot for the SW on a DP.
Even if it's N or NNE, it's gonna be the strongest wind there at the SW, most likely. The beach and the morning don't usually go hand in hand.
N and NNE aren't ideal at the SW, but better than not riding.

I am planning on waiting til a tad later.
See how that seabreeze kicked today, and the last several days?
I am hoping for the same effect tomorrow (fingers crossed)

I drove by at 7:30 sensor was saying 23, but it looked more like 14. Spotted Al on his 14M and one large green Waroo. I've got to do a few things at work, but if it holds I may bail and charge it.

Thanks for that real life info, it's a lot more useful than a sensor.
The surrounding sensors are quite a bit lower than 20, especially the one over by Raul.

Hoping it shifts more North in a while to go to the beach for a DW'r.

Is anyone in on this idea? If so, where do you want to start?

iKan'tsurf is broken (worse than usual).

Here is a link that updates the wind every 5 minutes at CLW (if anyone cares).

http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=cwbf1

We are going to shoot up there today, around noon or so and hope for the best. It looks like 15 or so, right now. I am hoping for more.

It might come in at the SW from the NE as the sun sets.

BigAirAl got totally skunked out there this a.m. , despite the sensor saying 20 plus for SW.... :-?
