East Coast riding..
 

whats the nearest kite beach on the East Coast? thinking about a quick jaunt over this weekend if there is anything brewing .. i know there is a race scheduled so i assume that wind is forecast ..

i am seriously aching for some kiting..
been a stressful month and my only mental rest has been playing WAY too much Call of Duty 4.

allen and i went to port canaveral, thats the closest east coast beach, drive wise....

forecast looks a lot more solid the further south you go.

Jupiter looks good for Sunday.

blah.

bah.

humbug.

what a crappy couple months for wind.

Go south,



WE are both sat and sun....

Raul,

What's the forecast? and do you have a link?
Thanks. (please don't list Ikite as a reference)

but I think this is conservative for SFL since it usually is a bit more on that side than what they forecast, look at the seaweed esp. after 12GMT sun ( 7am ):

I think it'll be solid 15 kts sat and 20 kt on sun South of jupiter

That's where I'm goin'

Thanks for the links, Raul.

I was at Cocoa Beach this past weekend. The redtide was pretty bad. They are also dredging the inlet by Jetty Park. That is making the water pretty murky to the south where they're pumping out the sand. I think Jupiter would be a better choice. I might consider it for Sunday.
