Anybody going to hit Lot D on Sunday? Forecast is looking better as of this afternoon. I'm going to watch it in the morning and leave about 11am if it is looking good.

Quote:
S wind 15 to 20 kt...rising to 20 to 25 kt in the afternoon. Wind waves 5 ft. W swell 6 ft at 10 seconds. Chance of rain.

Short drive for me...will keep an eye out...might be fun!
Otherwise, if it stays South might just play in Chinook.

Never played in Chinook though I have scouted it for years and check it out everytime I drive by it. Hope to hit it soon.

CrazyHerb;
Where is the best place to launch in chinook? I've considered the park, has grass but those power lines are awefully close.
Do you wait for a certain tide?
Some of those pilings are under water at high tide, I would hate to boost land on one of those...

I am open to hitting the ponds. I'm doing a gearhart downwinder with a couple buds in the afternoon, a double session could be fun. Ponds in the morning and ocean in afternoon.
Will probably wake up and run down to the ponds and check it out if I see wind outside my house. Twisted Evil

Will give a onsite report since both good Astoria sensors are down and out again Mad Mad Mad

A few of us were planning to hit sunset to shipwreck Sunday. If anyone is up for shuttle sharing we would like to bring just one rig.
We,ve tried scoping a spot in chinook to launch. We tried once at low tide and it was nothing but mud. Any beta on a Chinook launch would be appreciated.

Kochease,
(Chinook) Go North of the park (But just South of the port) to Olsen St. (Looks like a driveway but is access to the little beach. Neighbors are friendly and enjoy seeing us goofballs splash around.
I stay plenty clear of the pilings...and the beach gets really small at high tide but have been out in all tides.

No wind yet and the sensors off of ikitesurf.com are down. The cam in the seaside cove shows calm but, according to NOAA it's coming:

Quote:
Today SW wind 15 to 20 kt. Gusts 25 kt. Wind waves 4 ft. W swell 6 ft at 10 seconds. Occasional rain.
Tonight SW wind 15 to 20 kt with gusts to 25 kt early... Then wind SW 10 to 15 kt. Wind waves 3 ft. NW swell 9 ft at 11 seconds. Rain at times.


I am planning on leaving about 10:30 from PDX. Low tide is at 4pm so, should have a good 2+ hours of water.

I made it out and rode from 12:30 - 3. Water was low and wind was gusty but, butter flat and plenty warm.
