NWS does pretty well in this part of the State, this is what they have to say ... TUESDAY EAST WINDS 10 TO 15 KNOTS. SEAS BEYOND THE REEF 2 TO 4 FEET. SEAS HIGHER IN THE GULF STREAM. SEAS INSIDE THE REEF 1 TO 2 FEET. NEARSHORE WATERS A LIGHT TO MODERATE CHOP. ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. TUESDAY NIGHT EAST WINDS INCREASING TO 15 TO 20 KNOTS. SEAS BEYOND THE REEF BUILDING TO 4 TO 6 FEET. SEAS HIGHER IN THE GULF STREAM. SEAS INSIDE THE REEF BECOMING AROUND 2 FEET. NEARSHORE WATERS BECOMING CHOPPY. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT EAST WINDS NEAR 20 KNOTS. SEAS BEYOND THE REEF 4 TO 7 FEET. SEAS INSIDE THE REEF 2 TO 4 FEET. NEARSHORE WATERS ROUGH. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THURSDAY EAST TO SOUTHEAST WINDS 15 TO 20 KNOTS. SEAS BEYOND THE REEF 4 TO 6 FEET. SEAS INSIDE THE REEF 2 TO 3 FEET. NEARSHORE WATERS CHOPPY. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. FRIDAY AND SATURDAY EAST WINDS 15 TO 20 KNOTS. SEAS BEYOND THE REEF 4 TO 6 FEET. SEAS HIGHER IN THE GULF STREAM. SEAS INSIDE THE REEF 2 TO 3 FEET. NEARSHORE WATERS CHOPPY. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS. http://www.srh.noaa.gov/mfl/marine.php Looks doable by the forecast. I would keep checking the site as the time comes closer.

Just an update. I went to Whale Harbour on Wed & it was great.
Disapointed to not see more people there but having the place practically to yourself is not a bad thing either. Winds let off at about 3 pm but i put my 17Contra & was lit till 6 pm. At that point I was the only one left & called it a day. What a spot, thanks to the guys from Seven Sports , super nice people. I dont know the story but I'm sure they have someting to do with making that spot accessable to kiters. :mrgreen: |

Glad you had a good time. Even a place like Whale Harbor can get crowded so enjoy the space while you have it. Yes, Brad opened up WH when it looked like Holiday Isle was to be wacked and converted to an expensive condo development. It is great he found a place so close by and central to things down there.
