Default Night Ride? Wind's blowing with a full moon

Anyone up for a night ride? Looks like it might be blowing SE at SW with a full moon.

I just got back from Lassing/Pier area.
It spiked up right at sunset, but then gradually died. It definitely held promise for a short while, but not for long. It is a full moon (close enough) and it seemed like it was going to be decent. Exceptionally low tide, so only a couple places will work in this scenario (Lassing won't).
It was "do-able", but I am not jonesin' so bad that I am gonna' be trolling for sharks in ten knots. Paul and Jordan were giving it a whirl when I left.
The sensors are reading way off. It's only 10 to 11 out there.

Did it die or just switch too far south the show at the pier?

Maybe the tide change had something to do with it? Someone is driving out the the skyway now, so I will get an update in a few.

Last report was that lassing was too far out of the south, but the smoke stack was FLAT.

Default Thanks

Thanks Scott for the update. That is so helpful and one of the great uses of this forum. I was considering a trip down there tonight but your post saved me time, gas, money, and most importantly a long debate with the wife. Keepin an eye on next week for some potential wind from this disturbance in the Gulf. We are due.
