Wind Tonight!
 
Did anyone get some water time tonight? I got out late, after 6:30 pm. Still it was nice, 16 to 20 kts. sideshore! A storm cell moved over about 45 minutes before I hit the beach and dumped a load of rain. Radar looked clear pretty much after that. Eventually that changed howver.

A shelf cloud managed to sneak to the coast from inland under a bunch of external cloud cover. It started around George Bush Blvd. in Delray and went north a few miles. Once it came near the coast it became pretty obvious. No extreme winds with this one but there could have been. The wind vanished shortly after it went out to sea. Nice unexpected session!

The first official day of summer
 
I caught two sessions between 4 & 8pm, both ended due to rain. But they were over an hour each :D

How stoked to be powered on an 11 in June !

Glad you were able to get in some water time Rick

Thanks guys. It was good to get out and after I had given up much hope for a session a week or two out. Wind in the coming week sounds good.

Watch out for those storms, the squall season (one of many) is on!

Have fun

Looks like a missed out, I went down to Bahia this weekend. I think it got up to 2 knts for an hour on sunday. Still had fun without kiting.

HIGHFLYN 06-25-2007 11:52 AM

I'm making an early prediction.......... There WILL be rideable wind by 5pm today lasting thru Wednesday.



Keep an Eye on it my fellow wind junkies

kiwiar2000 06-25-2007 01:39 PM

highflyn may be right...forecasts predict on average of 14 knts

ricki 06-25-2007 01:55 PM

I think you're spot on, it is 13 gusting to 15 kts. in Delray already. I was surprised it didn't come up yesterday but today will do. Go out and grab some!

Looks like some nasty wx inbound and it seems to have headed off the wind, damn.

Wasn't what I had hoped for, But it's summer time. Any wind is good wind :cool:

Hit the beach @ 5:15 and rigged the 17 Waroo, 1st session I took out a 6' Surftech. Winds picked up just enough and switched out for my 127 Float and finished up what turned out to be a FUN session. The wind was still good when I left :D

Kited 5:30-7
