Waves would be nice (unfortunately smallest I have at the moment is a 5.3). |

.SUN...SW winds 20 to 25 kt with gusts up to 40 kt. |
I just had to do that when I saw Ron post. I'm hoping to get a speed session in at Egg Island or the Kennedy Slicks. Should be nice and empty thanks to the rain.
Tuesday holds some promise, too. But temps in the 50s and sunny almost sounds too good to be true.
... funny, donwh beat me to posting the NWS fx ... |

We'll most likely be sailing in the Falmouth area tomorrow (Sunday), forecast looks promising. They are forecasting 25, 5.3 sounds a little big. Sailed 5.0 yesterday at Chapoquoit beach, only me windsurfing, cool and pretty gusty, but sunny day. |

They were not bad for NW, not too choppy, some head high, but not real clean. Got some good air, but a little more difficult to get a good ride. Typical side-on shore stuff around here. |

Chappy could be good with low tide at 2pm, but wind a bit onshore as it goes WSW. Kalmus ok but can get flukey in West. Harding has good exposure to west, but could also have challenging shorebreak with the noon high tide. ...deliberating... |
