I wouldn't count on it Sean,

Most prolly the computer is just forecasting thunderstorms,

But we can always keep our fingers crossed for quality consistent wind...

I was just about to make this post...

http://www.ikitesurf.com/windandwher...orecast+Graphs

Ikite was right fo rsunday night for me at IRB...

To me it would be hard to forecast thunderstorms all day at a consistent wind speed and direction, this is just my wishful thinking that we get some wind!

I just looked at a detail analysis,

appears there will be a strong low pressure center a few hundred miles to the NW of us on thursday morning moving to the north of us on thursday afternoon.

Nothing tropical is associated with it ( YET ), but it does look rainy IRB and north on Thursday, may be a lot less showers to the south of IRB, too early still. I guess we'll find out...

Will definately be interesting to see how it pans out.

Ikite showing solid wind all day....

Accuweather showing not a damn thing.

I know Scott is a big fan of Accuweather. We'll see.

IKite is very accurate in other parts of the country, but in general more inconsitent down here. I have always thought that the latitude we live in is a very difficult area to forecast.

But at least there is hope for something. I hope we get some wind cuz a crispy new Switchblade 4 just arrived.

Now the crazy Doppler makes sense. Maybe we will have a little storm form over us with some wind in it. Hopefully it is so close to land it can't cause too much damage...if anything forms of course.

Hey its not called IMight surf for nothin.

I like Accuweather too. I like to look at a bunch of models. My top three are NOAA, AW, and Ikite. NOAA and IKite call for wind. 2 out of 3 aint bad.

This time of year, anything goes. The sky looked very different tonight. Very tropical stormish. Somethings up.
