Fri Sep 22, 06 10:03 am Sauvie's 10-15... last chance? |
|

Ikite calls for Sauvie to be 10-15 today. Could be the last chance!
What does the all knowing Magic Eight ball say?

Yah, the 8-ball saw that optimistic forecast from George.
NOAA & aviation forecasts for lower Columbia are 5-10mph, PDX is 10-15mph...
It’s a tough call?? 8-ball says ~37.5% chance for sailable wind (i.e. minimal walking of the kite). I didn’t check the tide table…
A autumnal equinox session would be very nice though…

See ya'all Hatch side for a mellow 14m session this afternoon... Looks like the wind is just starting to pick up and the pieces should fall into place.
Who was asking earlier about launching at the Hatch? I have a sweet self launch progression... come on down and watch it in action this afternoon...

Just need 13-15 knots and my 14m will work fine with the current there!!! Working on low level surface pass stuff anyway...
Come pressure/temp combo, just a wee bit more push...

Looks like the Hatch if it is going to happen - the tides will knock everything down downstream from PDX - Lincoln City if you leave 5 min ago. 17mph, low tide and 8 ft swell

Scappoose is 9 with gusts to14.
Fremont is 9.
Such a tease! Hope someone is ready to take the risk. Good luck!

I'm sitting under Freemont and it's not 9 at 5pm. Sensor is not correct.
