East winds this week
Anyone had any luck?? Or is it sucker wind :(
|
I think it might blow tonight. Last night it rained briefly at Derby Lane (around 8 pm) and then immediately got windy following the rain. It was still windy/breezy when I left at 1 am.
Maybe the same will happen late this afternoon (?) |
Thanks Scott. I was hoping it would.
|
I just checked accuweather and they think it might blow :)

Thanks! I may check out the Skyway.

Did you give it a shot?

Yesterday we got about 1.5 hour of 15-20knt East wind at SW.
Gotta always keep an eye on the sky... you don't want no smokin' shish kebab :). Humidity makes air thinner, so when it feels windy there not so much pull from the kite... kinda weird. |
Scott-
I gave it a try. Had the 19M flysurfer. Way too up and down and looked like a storm was coming. Rode for about 30 mins and then went home. Wasn't worth it but oh well. Gotta Puerto Rico Kite trip in July :). Tony |
what part of PR? is it traditionally windy there this time of year?

This will be my third time to go. We stay in San Juan. Kiteboarding is 10 - 15 mins from the airport. AA flies direct in and out of San Juan. It is only a 2.5 hour flight. Hard to beat. I posted wind conditions off the kitesurf PR website below. Typically July is very good - trade winds. Read the part about April to August. Only risk you take is tropical depression/hurricane season. Make sure your hotel is refundable.
Winds and Waves: •From December to April : on average 12-17 knots, with days blowing in the 25 knts. Waves almost everyday from waist high to double over head. Sunny with night rain showers. Winds picks up around 10-11am and drops around 4 or 5pm. •February is one of the windiest month of the winter •From April to August: on average 15-20 knots, with days in the 25 knts. Usually pretty flat; waves if any are small: knee to waist high. |
All times are GMT -5. The time now is 04:50 AM. |
