Looks like we are going to get about 2 feet of snow in the next 3 days. That is pretty cool but i have been in Naples mode starting December 1st.

While I am down there I will be staying at a place on Pine Ridge. Only about 5-10 mins from Gulf Shore Blvd. (Depending on where you are located on the coast) I am taking my gear with me on the plane. I have called ahead to let Southwest know i was bringing something of that size. Which is not big.

On Janurary 1st 2008 I saw a kiter having fun out there at sunset probably down by 7th ave and I said that is what I want to do next year if I had the chance. I do and will be doing the same even if it is just for a little run out and back it is going to happen.

I will be there Dec 26th-Jan 3rd. Lets make this happen. Just nervous on how busy it is going to be on the beaches. Will it be busy? Let me know

Brendan

i've been in Naples for a couple days, it's been east breezes and it looks to continue with that pattern, looking like skunk on the gulf side unless the Sanibel crew has gotten lucky. and it looks like the east side might go flat too :-(

nice sunny and warm though

It seems like the easterly flow will hold for a few more days. There is wind forecast from now through the weekend on both coasts in the south of the state. Not sure how accurate the sensor is but it looks like Sanibel is rideable currently at around 12 to 15 mph ENE right now.

Here's the NWS forecast for that area:

TODAY
EAST WINDS AROUND 15 KNOTS. SEAS 2 TO 4 FEET. BAY AND INLAND
WATERS A LIGHT CHOP.

TONIGHT
EAST WINDS 15 KNOTS. SEAS 2 TO 4 FEET. BAY AND INLAND
WATERS A MODERATE CHOP.

SATURDAY
SOUTHEAST WINDS 15 TO 20 KNOTS. SEAS 2 TO 4 FEET. BAY
AND INLAND WATERS A MODERATE CHOP.

SATURDAY NIGHT
SOUTHEAST WINDS AROUND 15 KNOTS. SEAS 2 TO 4 FEET. BAY
AND INLAND WATERS A MODERATE CHOP.

SUNDAY
SOUTHEAST WINDS AROUND 15 KNOTS. SEAS 2 TO 4 FEET. BAY AND
INLAND WATERS A MODERATE CHOP.


and for the SE Coast:

TODAY
EAST WINDS 10 TO 15 KNOTS. SEAS 2 TO 4 FEET. INTRACOASTAL
WATERS A MODERATE CHOP.

TONIGHT
EAST WINDS 15 TO 20 KNOTS. NEAR SHORE...SEAS 2 TO 4 FEET
BUILDING TO 4 TO 6 FEET. IN THE GULF STREAM...SEAS 4 TO 6 FEET.
INTRACOASTAL WATERS CHOPPY IN EXPOSED AREAS.

SATURDAY
EAST WINDS 15 TO 20 KNOTS. SEAS 4 TO 6 FEET.
INTRACOASTAL WATERS CHOPPY IN EXPOSED AREAS.

SATURDAY NIGHT
EAST WINDS 10 TO 15 KNOTS. SEAS 2 TO 4 FEET.
INTRACOASTAL WATERS A MODERATE CHOP.

SUNDAY
EAST WINDS 10 TO 15 KNOTS. NEAR SHORE...SEAS 2 FEET OR
LESS. IN THE GULF STREAM...SEAS 2 TO 4 FEET SUBSIDING TO 2 FEET OR
LESS. INTRACOASTAL WATERS A MODERATE CHOP.

Hope you get some wind!
