 Mon Jun 08, 15 9:53 am Surface Temp at HR? |
 |
|
| Anyone know the Col surface temp at HR (these past few days)? The John Day above the confluence was already at 80 over the weekend (77 in the pool above the dam on the Col). Freakishly warm. We usually don't see water temps like that until well into July. Looks like iffy wind this up-coming weekend, so I was thinking it would be nice to drag the wakeboat west to HR for some different scenery...and better access to DM Kolsch. Thanks. |

there are lots of people out in shorties and just boardshorts even at the mouth of the hood river. so yes, the water is warmer than usual
As far as this weekends forecast. Its a complete waste of time looking at it now, I would take look on Thursday. Last Fridays forecast had low teens (mild) for Sat/Sun and then it kicked up to 9M at times on both day. I got in a 1hr session on my 8m. |

| Thanks. Yes, I don't usually end up deep enough for those dam discharge temps to matter much. I've never actually measured, but with full ballast, our temp sensor is probably 18-24" below the surface. In the pool above the JD Dam, it got cold real quick when heading down, but we measured 77 on Saturday, which was a shock for this time of year. Not really a big deal one way or the other, but I was kinda curious. Kite gear, including suits, travels with us. So, if we haul the beast that way, we'll stay toasty one way or the other. Thanks again. |

For what it's worth. Sunday 6/14: East of the bridge/Koberg around 4PM, 71/72F. West of Wells, a pretty consistent 69F.

Crazy warm water. I usually wear my 5/3 until mid june. Then jump into my 3/2. I have been wearing my 3/2 for several weeks.
Great weekend. Got first good rides on a 12 at the event site Saturday and prefect flat water wake boarding/water skiing on sunday. Just hate living in hood river.  |

| We actually left the suits in the truck. There was some shivering (a couple of beginners that spent all their time in the water), but no one turned blue. |

| Looks like a repeat this upcoming weekend (but with triple digits). We've always got room for one more. |
