IT"S EARLY< BUT MAY BE A BAD WIND YEAR

[beallmd]

so maybe I got it exactly wrong? the facts are solid regarding the cold fronts moving through etc, but the effect may be a better wind pattern than the normal thermals? We all normally think of the foggy cold dense coastal air contrasting with the inland hot rising air, but even when this gets screwed up, the wind is better?

Methinks ye over analyze, lad.

IT'S EARLY > BUT MY LIFE MAY BE MEANINGLESS

Enjoy each day for what it is (a freaking miracle, man), etc...

Koogzah may be right. My wife would probably agree. Some of us just cogitate, can't help it. Maybe that's why I like windsurfing-no time for cogitating...

It's not the year is was last year which was very good. Last year the conundrum was where do I go I just can't decide it looks good everywhere, my hands are sore. This year its been extremely cold through may and it seems its either full on or full off. Yes you can get some if your free to drive anywhere anytime. This year is not a washout by any means but what was that odd weather the last three days heatwaves an thunderstorms?

This year, 6 daze a week easy with 5.5 and smaller if you're 150lbs., and the most sheer # of 3.7 daze, if you have time and driving compunctions.
Even this hot spell, and thru all this NW winds, you can find overpowering winds with some driving and time, so not all so abnormal.
Even hot yesterday, several options for 18+ winds.
Friday not so many, but the GGBridge is nice as was most NW spots late late in the day.....

I'm more alarmed at the cost of sailing this year, Gear & gas costs. both are linked to the use of materials for the War effort.

My impression is that this March-June was among the best in 10 years for Waddell and Crissy. Classic fog-based Rio daze haven't really kicked in much, although there have been plenty of reasonable opportunities for SI fans. BTW, just returned from several days of blasting winds on north shore Maui. At the same time, surfers were ripping solid double overhead south swell waves at La Perouse and other locations. On another note, I am concerned about all of the wild fire smoke currently in the air. Hope everyone gets through this fire season with minimal problems!
