Some mid winters really bite, no doubt. Especially that one that my friend Joe wanted to start. He quit out of sheer "skunk frustration". Remember that winter!?

Seems like the last 2 were okay (?). Maybe not, maybe just the sensors were high. This winter has definitely sucked (as opposed to blown), imo.

What is most noticeably absent is the classic NE dawn patrol.
I am use to doing a ton of those in the winter. I can't remember one (strong one dying at 10am) this season.

Cool more wind

well it is about time that I start posting a bit and let bryan relax some- and since there is no wind to speak of why not

Just hoping this winter kicks in and gets cold and I can use the damm dry suit I got for this season!

oh well there is always sailing if we could get a mere 3 or 4 knots

"Pray for wind" as my old windsurfing sticker use to say

I will be out at EB as soon as I see some wind. I'm sure I will see many of you out there! I have the faith that it is going to be a good day.

Dudez, it is going to blow today. All the signs are in place. It's nice to see the forecast get a little stronger as this afternoon approaches. Hell, it looks like it might start blowing before noon.

See you on the water, byatches!

Default Of course global warming is real, duh.

It would seem everything is in place.
Doppler looks good up north.

Coin toss tho due to cow farts.
Last weekend had me totally confused. Cow farts!

scott..
can you put together a post on how to get a gauge on what to look for w/ the doppler?

maybe some links/examples.. etc..

we probably need a sticky with the best weather related links.

besides the SW sensor on Ikitesurf I look at :

http://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/tbports/tbAllMET.html

and

http://usairnet.com/cgi-bin/launch/c...t=Get+Forecast

and

http://ompl.marine.usf.edu/PORTS/m01010/gm01010.html

for realtime/near future stuff..
