San Luis is doing it's thing this AM. 31 Knots. Water level 220. If anyone got a session...let us know how it was! Weed situation still manageable?
Anyone sail the big lake? must have been pretty off the hook.

It's early July which is always weedy 100% of the time. The upper res
would be good but they shut it down when it blows this hard...Latest report
is 30 - 41 av. 36

I heard you can sail the east part of the forbay (the larger section east of the powerlines) and there's no weeds. Launch from the southside "campground".
Anyone have experience?

| There still is enough weeds in that area where you still need some kind semi weed fin. You can sail out from under the power lines on the south side there is a bit of land/wind shadow behind the island in the middle ,but at 36 average you would still be planning even on small stuff.

| Arrived at Noon. At 220.5 you still need some kind of weed or weed wave although there are not any thick green patches on the surface yet. 4 to 5.0 all day .

Started sailing Sunday 10 am from the Medeiros side with a 4.0. The weeds are not bad yet although a weed fin is a must. Rigged a 4.8 for the afternoon and switched back to the 4.0 when it picked up about 3 pm.
Wonderful day! Saturday was pretty good in the afternoon with a big sail, 6.5 in my case.
When the weeds are really bad, you can launch from the point under the power lines but it has to be really windy to get past the wind shadow of the first island. You still need a weed fin.

| I thought I would try it today to get restarted after the flu. At 219 to 220 there are definitely solid patches of weeds on the top now. Got there a 1 pm and it was pretty dead put out the reclining chair and rested till about 2 when it picked up. Put up a 5.8 and could only plane in the clearer area's when in and waited some more the water level rising all the time . Had enough wind around 3 to 5 to make some of those planing runs through the ultra glassy weed dampened water. By 5 the water was in the mid 220's and a lot of the surface weeds were slightly under the surface. I don't think I will go again this season unless its 221 and rising.
