Default Awesome sesh just south of Jupiter Inlet

Thanks for the tips Rick, i checked out those spots around 4:30 in Delray and Boynton, it was windy, and i was surrounded by grey clouds. 4' surf, with nobody out.......i got spooked and drove the rig to Jupiter inlet. I guy with a red Waroo 12 launched me and all was well in the universe. 15-20mph SE winds. Surf was'nt as good, it was shorepound. Alot more riders south of me at Juno Pier? You guys dont know how good you got it, with water that clear and uncrouded beaches, surf and no sharks (no sharks, yeah right!

Glad it was a good session, wish I could have joined you. Yes, most of the guys seem to ride at kitebeach, about a mile north of the Juno Pier up that way.

Listen to your gut as you did. That is a good point about squalls and color radar. Just because one area has wind and squalls doesn't necessarily mean another are will have more than wind. Or the spacing between the squalls may be larger. Checkout the realtime wind to make sure it is blowing where you are thinking of going. Also checkout the color radar and sat. images to see if you are clear of squalls or at least have a large gap. By the way, thermal squalls can apparently come out of clear air within 45 minutes this time of year. Those are not the kind of squalls we have had running through here over the last few days however.
