I was at 69th st.
Great spot, very few swimmers as the nearest exit is closed to public.

Hopefully we will get some again soon.

I saw the sand bar and boat nearshore so guessed south. Nice conditions. Wow, where was the snow kiting photo taken? The surface looks real good. For years I took some kiting gear to the mountains but never used any of it. A big cornfield in Minnesota or an area like you show is more my speed for getting into it as opposed to the mountains I think.

This pic was taken in eastern Washington.
I have been looking for a place to snowkite for 2 years when I was in Seattle and finally found it randomly.
No one around, miles and miles of fresh snow and easy access.
If you don't mind driving, the NW offers great variety of land and water spots.

Super stoked!

Mother Nature delivered an eairly "Fireworks" display here in Palm Beach. Woke up this am with a northly drive on the agenda, As I knew there was a swell from the Low off the Carolina's

But to my suprise, It was coming in at Lake Worth. Waist to Chest high w/crystal clear water and not a breath of wind.

Saved the long haul up coast and surfed outback for over 2 hours

Wow, I had no idea. Looked at the light but building wind prospects to the east and massive building thermal squalls converging from the west and figure, not today. I didn't see obvious swells from A1A, it is good you looked more closely.

Glad you grabbed some nice swells. Good way to start Independence Day.

Around 4 at my house I could see that it had come back up a bit. So I drove up to Lake Worth for a visual, Wind was 10-12mph. So I figured since it was SSE I'd head back down to Boynton and see if it was a little stronger.

No such luck, same 10-12mph. Hung out for a few till around 5, right as the guards were wrapping it up for the day. The wind puffed up a bit more maybe 13-14mph. So I just couldn't call it a day yet, I rigged up the 17 and headed out on my surfboard and wound up putting in a full 2 hour session!

Sounds good, I got some new kites to check out... hopefully it will be strong after 5:00.

So far it looks good, I see someone out there riding at Hammock Park.

Well ya caught me, I bailed out of work and got there early. Wind was good at first. I was on my 13, but it didn't last for long. I switched up to a 17 and was well powered, Rode a surfboard most of the afternoon. Wind came on for maybe 1/2-3/4hr, powered enough to hop on a kiteboard. It seemed according to the ocean surface conditions alot windier then it was (~scratchingmyhead~ not sure about that one) No complaints here it's July and I got to ride
