Default Epic Sea Breeze Session Thurs

No brainer....there was an epic sea breeze today hitting 20+ out of the North.

A couple of us are planning to hit it up around Clearwater down to Indian Rocks around 1pm.

Come join us if you can, should be a beautiful day!!!!

II don't know. I think it will probably blow ENE in the morning at the SW until around 11am (again). Today nuked pretty good from NNE out there. But tomorrow I would be surprised to see it seabreeze all that great, lots of east in it is my guess.
Hope I am wrong, but that's not usually what mother nature does under tomorrow's circumstances. Care to wager and make it interesting? How about ten cents. I might go out there, either way. Donna has the day off and it's been awesome out.

Forecasts rarely predict seabreezes, so Steve definitely has a shot of getting this right and he is definitely wise to ignore the forecast
Also, in terms of the NE and ENE, those winds can be greatly amplified at certain times in certain places under certain circumstances
Forecasts never hit that kind of stuff. They almost NEVER predict a great seabreeze. As a matter of fact, if Josh Linker actually does say seabreeze, I put a fork in it.

We haven't had that many true seabreezes this year (winds going from squat to NW at 18 plus in 5 minutes and lasting 2.5 hours, then dying just as fast) and I think there is too much of an easterly component in it for the seabreeze to overcome it today. Yesterday was more Northerly, so.....

I could be wrong, but I am still here working and don't plan on burning gas today. I am gonna wait for 7:30 and ride Lassing.

Anyway, it's all a guessing game and if you aren't there, you won't ride.
Last night pretty much cranked though, and that was predictable.
