Thanks for the link. As of today Tampa Bay (on Saturday) looks like it may get a little puff. 12-15 with gusts to 21, I might be able to make that work. Can you recommend a launch that works on a south southwest? Fort de soto or Indian rock comes to mind but being from out of town I would hate to waste time going the wrong way.

As you can see the forecast can change frequently, sometimes with each update a few times per day. The general conclusion now is what is coming is supposed to move fairly quickly and be weak. Even that can change however. Best advice, wait as late a possible tomorrow or even to Saturday morning before deciding if you can.

Checkout weather resources at:

by all means bring it up here again.

Sometimes the wind portends are strong and fairly obvious. The forecast at this point is subtle.

You're welcome, hope it works out for some useable wind. Know more tonight and tomorrow morning.


There is an event tomorrow in St. Pete, competition is limited to registered college students but it might be fun to watch and free ride, wind willing. More at: http://fksa.org/showthread.php?p=38874#post38874

Well, the current forecast is for no useable wind on either coast of central Florida today or even tomorrow. Looked pretty good for Tampa last night but that changed. There still might be wind despite that today or tomorrow but it may be more of a random thing. Keep an an eye on ikitesurf. Sorry, but it happens between stronger fronts here. There is always CKA #5 in St. Pete http://fksa.org/showthread.php?p=38874#post38874 today and tomorrow. They will likely have some interesting stuff going on.

Man I don't know what to say but thanks. I know if I didn't bring gear it would probably be nuking. I'll probably head towards ft. de soto anyway and check out the area for next time. Thanks again for everything, Kev out.

It is pretty sunny and warm down in my area of SE Florida. Wouldn't surprise me to have thermal winds later on today. These are rarely forecast. May have the same thing over in St. Pete. If you're over that way be sure to check out the CKA event. The guys know how to put one on.
