Yea, I've been watching it on ikitesurf too... Just want a little more as I think I'd still be underpowered on the 11m.

I have a line-of-sight from my office on the Fremont flags and they *just* kicked it into the next gear. Could be good at SI if it keeps building. I've got meetings meetings meetings so document the glory if you get it!

OK now it's 3 mintues later and I think they just turned another 45 degrees -- it might have a little of the easty in it.

Argghh, why do I check this site on days when I can't leave work!!

Wind on the north-central coast came up this afternoon too. Newport jetty report:

03 28 4:00 pm N 23 25
03 28 3:00 pm N 16 19
03 28 2:00 pm NNW 15 17

Clouds soon followed however, and this was only a one-day phenomema I think. The MM5 model called it right-on. If anyone's not familiar with this forecast tool, check it out. Its the best for the coast!
