Hah! i know the feeling, right now wind and surf is up just a few min from my house. Work... well I am one of those "go to" guys and always on call (already missed the extended lunch break window). Family..., t-ball game tonight so cannot miss that.
Perhaps tomorrow?! Saving grace for me is I have a Sealion on the board rack for when I do have a moment to get wet no matter what the wind is doing and there is a little bit of surf out there.
UPDATE: I actually found a window this afternoon and caught about 30 min on the water equating to about 10 waves and some nice fun turns and hits including a few strapless floats! Following, made the t-ball game on-time with no qualms from the better half.
The Sealion is the perfect "Dad's time" ride!

book a house on the sound side in hatteras in June.. bring the whole family.. it will be warm windy and sunny. get windsurf lessons for the family (don't teach them yourself), martine at ocean air sports in avon is really good with the kid lessons and teaching women. get them all hooked on hatteras and windsurfing thru osmosis, not because you want to go..they will be begging you to come back at the end of the vacation...

When I lived in NM, I usually got back home from the Gorge within a month of my target date. Not kidding.
Now that it's 1,230 miles closer, I usually get back within a day or three of my target date ... depending on the wind.
I suspect she "deals with" my road trips by doing back flips. Her work time, hobbies, cooking, and schedules are infinitely freer when I'm gone, so she loves it.
