|

I'm new to iwindsurf and trying to sort out the forcast information. Can anyone suggest the correct links??? I''m really looking for the forcast for wind this weekend in the Gorge; assuming east winds are the best bet, so Stevenson, Rooster Rock, ...
Thanks,
Alex |

Now that the human forecasts have ended for the season go to any Gorge page and try these links:
Pressure Report
Computer Forecasts
> PG-Windbow Ext
> PG-Windbow Short
> Gradient Animation
Forecasting easterly winds is relatively easy. |

Not be be obnoxious, but why did the human forecasts end for the season? Is the season over?
I wasn't paying attention to the wind for the last two weeks because I knew it was iffy, but there must be a couple of good days left before ski season. |

Iffy? Season over? As forecast, Saturday blew like hell all day with glassy swell running 10 feet, and today blew like hell much of the day with swell to 6 feet, with blue skies, warm enough that at least one guy was completely comfortable in a vest and board shorts. It's like summer but without the crowds or sweaty rigging. Mid-Sep had 5 straight days of very strong winds too warm for full suits. I usually sail until roughly Thanksgiving and I don't do gloves or booties. iW provides a long list of sources; I'll take my forecasts anywhere I can find 'em, including NOAA and iW's blue line.
