Hi Gang,

Have you noticed the repeated use of the word "weird" the last 4 days in the extended forecast to warn of today's winds. Well I just received this text from Gorge sailor Greg M.:

I got a text from Gorge sailor Greg M. at 2:30PM today Tuesday Sept. 13

"Just landed at SFO after circling for an hour. And a westerly approach after being told the wind was eastrly. Looked south to me. Wtf did you do to the wind here ?
Sent from my iPhone"


Here is a link to a brief blog about today's winds:

"Its fall get use to it...."

Actually in 25 years of forecasting for the Bay Area I have never seen a Cut-Off Low in Sept. right over the Bay much less one creating SE winds at the surface. This is not something that happens because it is fall.

The pilot on that flight felt that the event unusual enough to call out the Cut-Off Low to passengers to explain why they had to circle SFO of an hour before landing.

And I got texts for the USAfishing.com skippers outside the Gate asking WTF was happening with SE ocean winds and chop in Sept.
