There is south of the inlet itself but the beach there is guarded so I wouldn't try to launch on the public portion. HIGHFLYN rides up that way pretty often and could provide some more specific info.

*****NB- watch out for squalls, there is no shortage of violent storms these days. We had a gust spike to about 55 mph early this morning, another one hit about an hour ago with wind running up into the 40's. I would check color radar, on your cell phone if possible *****

It's definatly B-L-O-W-I-N-G out there right now, 18-21 knots with higher gusts.

As for launchable spots in Boynton beach on a SE to ESE wind. Hammock park which is just north of the Boynton Public beach, parking for Hammock Park is on the west side of A1A (walk across A1A and thru the "Hammock" to the beach. Has the best launch area with a WIDE beach. Personally on a SE to ESE I prefer Boynton Inlet on the North side, GR8 waves to enjoy and the wind is cut down a little due to the North jetty. There will be a bunch of surfers there today though ( I know I used to be one of them, Just give respect ) The beach is not a WIDE as Hammock. But still plenty of room to self launch and land there. Fisherman on the jetty should'nt be an issue since it's sorta a crappy day.
