Usually what happens the day following a cold front is that it will blow the following morning real well from the NNE until around 11am.
Unfortunately, that's the one bad direction for us locally, as it tends to be gusty, mainly due to lack of a spot with a clean fetch (except southside SW). If it stayed due North that'd be one thing, or NE.... but it is usually NNE.
The Skyway is the best place for the wind (it seems to get funneled across the bay there), but it's usually gusty.
South skyway is best for this direction, imo, as the wind is more powerful and less gusty, but is a pain to set up unless extreme low tide.

Then, it's anyones guess at that point what will happen after 11am. Some of the forecasts say wind all day, others don't.
If I had to bet on it, I would not bet on wind from the NE all day, but it does rarely happen.

Sometimes it might actually seabreeze starting around 1 pm, so the beach would work. Pass-a-Grille seems to be the best local spot for that.

Then, another possibility is that it might blow NE again starting around 4 pm or so as it starts to cool. SW is best place if that happens.

It's hard to know, especially this season.
Usually the morning blow is a good bet, though.
