Looks like a possibility of SSW/SW winds today.
Accuweather is saying 12 or so http://www.accuweather.com/us/fl/sai...ay=1&hbhhour=7 and from my experience when the radar looks this

it often times blows, picking up at 1pm or so. (maybe get lucky today, not nuking, but rideable)
I am getting out of school today around noon, and am hoping to ride SPB, maybe EB, depending on direction.
I will put an update on the "windy" site/Textmark gizmo around 12:30 or 1pm.

forecast on Sailflow shows some wind right now around 2pm... probably big kites if anything. I might head to EB this afternoon if I can clear my schedule... would rather be kiting on a Monday!

Yeah,

It's already trying to blow at the beach, SSW around 8. The odds are good enough of a decent breeze (and I am wanting some sun) that I am gonna blow off my "job"

and hang with some kiters and try to ride.
Hobie, I will textmark a little later, like I said.
I will hit EB maybe if it's SSW.
I drive a burgundy Tundra, name is Scott.

The whale will be buried at the park once the necropsy is finished. A backhoe is nearby.
Fougeres said the whale could have died from disease or old age. Any signs of trauma on the carcass could have come before or after it died, she said.
Todd Neff of Evansville, Ind., has never seen a whale but took the opportunity to change that this morning.
"I was fishing at the pier and somebody told me there was a whale here," he said today at Fort DeSoto Park.
