am I crazy or does the north coast look decent for Saturday? Maybe Astoria or Seaside?...or somewhere else?
West-south-west winds though.... never ridden with that direction.
any local wisdom here? |

Go to the gorge. Winds are too light and unpredictable this wkend for the beach especially if you don't have a big kite.
Gorge is going to be nukie this wkend. |

but the coast has waves. 
anyone with a more coast-positive outlook? I'd rather a mediocre wave day than a nuker gorge day... especially since I can get that for the following days. |

Coast was very good.
Tami and I did a downwinder from the flag (Gearhart) up to sunset and the waves were about head high...little above.
REALLY fun.
Wind was up and down but never down below 15.
Flew a 10 meter Havoc with a surfboard.
Last week was NW almost every day but small surf. |

My bad, I was wrong, but S to SW winds are hard to get, especially your not down at the coast to take advantage of the present coditions. I love riding the SW winds. It's so different and fun to what I normally get out there.
Glad to hear someone got some. |

Decent to solid 13m at Siletz yesterday from ~2:00 until 4:00... It's crazy how warm 6-12" of water can get when there's some sun. Definately could have not worn a wetsuit!  |
