I dont think the weeds are going anywhere until next season. Its been several weeks since Ive been there but we rarely have problems as long as you have a weed fin. Its a different kind of feeling, Ive had some of the most incredible high speed flat water rides there cutting right through the weeds. Ill be there Friday if the wind holds, yesterday it blasted well into the night but I missed it. One of my favorite spots.

Thanks for the response! Ive been meaning to get a weed fin, just keep putting it off. Guess now might be as good a time as any. Thanks again for the advice.

Ive been there in October a few times with no weeds in sight. I think they are removed
around this time every year.

Sail the upper res!! The ramps are more like
Rio w/tide going out. If you do sail upper res., rangers require that you sail with a friend and carry a flare,xtra rope.

Check water levels at:

under dispatcher daily water reports.

I agree. I sailed the upper site a few years ago in 4.5 conditions and had a blast. Big air, noone around, and plenty of water to manueverin.

The ranger up top didnt even bother me sailing alone. She said she saw me try a few loops through the binoculars and figured I knew what I was doing:-P

Never seen anyone else sail up there.
