I wouldn't bet on it. I would think it would start to peter out by 1pm. That's what it does 9 out of 10 times. Who knows though, anything is possible.

I do think it will be good as the sunsets and it cools off again, and continue to blow after the sun goes down. I would just show up later (5pm), rather than in the middle of the day, if possible.

got there about 9, no one there and blowin 15-25. very juicy on a 12m, good times!!! ahhhhh, the joys of getting laid off!!! LOL. It stayed up till about noon like it usually does, then tapered off but was still rideable at like 4 when i left. I had to force myself to leave before it picked back up, or i wouldn't have gotten anything done today. Hoping for some more tommorow!!!

scott gets major brownie points from me for yesterday afternoon..
i got to beach at 5pm and it was blowing 13 or 14 tops.. i was rigging my 16 and he said "its going to pick up! i expect 18 to 20 in 30 minutes"

i took his advice, rigged smaller and had an amazing 2 hour session..
when it picked up (as predicted, but off by about 15 minute)..

saved me 15 minutes of re-rigging time!

thanks scott!

Scott,

It may be a bit early for this, but now may be the time to share your experiences with the Easterly spikes that can occur at the end of the day. They are not too far away.

As many of you know, Scott is a guru on wind patterns.
