They keep changing that forecast... it's funny.
I just want 4 hours of solid 15 knots this weekend.
Anything more will be pure gravy. :wink:

Do you think we can contact Real's lawyers and have them sue NOAA for a couple million if the forecast gets blown?
We can claim emotional injury.

BB doesn't work until it turns SW , which doesn't look like till overnight hours, anyways forecast t-storms when it does turn SW

Raul is right. You can ride BB on a South... but.. it sucks until it's more SW.
Gusty as gusty gets when due S.

EB is probably the best on S (around here) as R. said, but if it's a beach you want, up by Upham (just south of Blind Pass) is sweet on souths.
Pretty flat and smooth, sometimes some decent waves.
A pretty good downwinder would be from there to IRB if it was S.
If it shifted more SSW, you could go even further North.
