13th Street and N Avenue at Treasure Island. There is a pipe you crawl down to and launch from, let the Ebb tide pull you out to the old launch windline. Keep close to the rocks, watch out for fishing lines and jelly fish. If still ebbing on the way back, you can reach downwind even past the launch and tack/point/slog your way back up to the launch. If its flooding, we just headed back to the rocks and floated, crab walked our way back to the pipe. Take a VHF radio with you. (or grab Fritz's that fell out of his pack on Tuesday...)

Tides favorable early PM's, but maybe flooding before most peeps show up.
Winds NOT favorable, as SSW or SW usually makes for windshadow and up and down winds. See YerbaBuena and Bridge upwind.
Coupled with warmer weather, maybe really gusty/holey.
But for sheer high winds, can't be beat.
I'd do Lordship's launch and pinch up to gap for +25 winds...worked yesterday.
Hope you score.

Looks like breeze shifted back to WSW, so TI should be OK for an early sesh before 5.
Not sure if anyone really sails it early, so maybe lonely sesh.
Should be windy, yesterday guys on 5.3's up at the Gap were really overpowered.

Gap in the pier, the first one, about a block and a half upwind of the Lordship launch.
Worked today for 5.8 and 84 liter board, but I'm a good pumper and upwind slogger, I guess.
Mike was upwind of me, planing 70%, on FSW93 and 5.8. He's 190lbs.
