There was some wind early Monday AM from the East and then a Sea Breeze late afternoon- Both were short sessions about 13 to 15 mph lasted about an hour and then died off quickly. I think there might have been a sea breeze at the beach today based on the flag when I left work but can not confirm. There was nothing when I drove across the bridge back to Tampa. I might give it a shot tomorrow after work at TI or PAG.

The only weather site I am going to use at this point is the sensor at the Airport in St. Pete. Good indicator of wind on an east.

Any Easterly flow this time of year on any forecast has potential for something

Keep an eye!!!

It was. I just got back.
Left Derby Lane at 11 and hit the Skyway. It was sick.
Get your glow sticks ready, BF.

There was a pretty good sea breeze today around 5pm at SPB, about 13/15 knots.

Good luck guys with catching that wind in the 727, the wind in Marthas Vineyard are raging the next couple of days. I am about to hop on my 8m and go take a sesh.
I am throwing a little comp up here for the islanders, check it out at WhatsUPMartha.com under the events! Also you can check out a video that we put together inside a sick location under Martha TV.

Have Fun
Mike

Didn't mean the wind was sick, just the situation.
It's always fun to rig with a crackhead and a whore in the bushes and the newly homeless jammed in their cars.
St. Pete sux.

Couldn't get that http://www.whatsupmartha.com/ to load when I tried, but here are a couple links to Vimeo -
