Any reports from the waterfront Fri?
Anyone had a look so far? Had hopes for this aft downtown, but its looking like less wind than predicted. Marine forecast is still good.
If anyone can have a look and post back here for the waiting masses, please do.
Hope to see you out there.

Re: Any reports from the waterfront Fri?
Looks like there is too much instability, winds a lot lighter right now. I doubt they will fill in for the next little bit, PM still has potential.

Re: Any reports from the waterfront Fri?
Just walked by and water looks rather dead - air is really moist and heavy - hopefully the Sun burns some of this humidity off.
Cheers,

Re: Any reports from the waterfront Fri?
Yep - got out at 5pm for 40min...........Luke joined in the fun but the winds where tapering off before the rain came. Heaven forbid kiting in the rain - with a dry suit.
BTW the 140 inch has nice pop.

Re: Any reports from the waterfront Fri?
Just drove by the water front (12:00)from the seat of my car it looked quite south,possibly even some east in it. And white caps were just starting. Hope this helps......I'm off to work now.

Re: Any reports from the waterfront Fri?
12:15 and was just at the water. Wind is steady SW but only around 12ish knots. Not enough for me to get wet. Still cloudy, but if the sun peeks through it might warm things up and pick up a bit. I'll be checking again in an hour or so.

Re: Any reports from the waterfront Fri?
and the 1:15 weather report from your on-site reporter is .... still seems too light. Tho iKitesurf claims it is 16 knots.
The sun is coming out. Anyone heading down to give it a go ? I'd be convinced to launch someone, and that might get me stoked enough to go out.
