Is El Niņo good or bad for So. Cal wind? Seems like warmer water is bad for thermals.

El Nino?????????????????

Where did you read this shit????????????

Coldest water in 25 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stop smoking! High pressure = less moisture= better thermal.

warm water= greater vapor pressure ( as water has high heat coefficient= takes a lot more heat to warm= slower rise in surface temperature, all other things equal), less wind..

Hey Gregor, do you want to become our weather forecaster?

A thankless job really, but maybe you're ready for the task.

It is an El Nino year. The bouys off the norcal coast are showing about 58 degrees, which is a good 6-8 degrees above normal. I asked a regular at Waddell today if it was noticably warmer he said yes and another local agreed. El nino USUALLY is associated with less wind including Maui, and possibly a wetter winter, but it is SO variable, so who knows.

LOL! you guys are too funny.

In past El Nino's I could trunk it but I just went out a couple of times in a shorty then the water cooled again and I am back to a full 3/2 so if it is an El Nino then it's not much of one.

JP, I heard they are making this in neoprene. Hurry, and put in your order before they're all gone. The dingle dangle can be customized.
