Executive lunch at Rooster today! Not sure if it'll hold through the afternoon. Any reports?

Very gusty! I was overpowered on my yarga 11m, I'm inexperienced and my board is big. Decided to quit whilst i was ahead. Couple of others out, one guy on a 12m north, both looked to be very powered but doing fine. Loads of beach upwind if you want to give yourself a buffer by walking before you launch. I'll be back another day with smaller kite and or board!

Thanks! I think the forecast is for it to back off this afternoon so hopefully it will steady out a bit.

Pressure Report
1:05 pm update
********************
Astoria-Portland:
East .03 increasing
Portland-Dalles:
East .07 steady
Dalles-Pasco:
East .02 increasing

Easterlies continue moderate pace around Stevenson through late morning, easing off this PM. Weaker for Corridor and E Gorge.

11:30am Update-
Mostly on track late morning. Latest pressure analysis continues to show high pressure across the deserts and lower pressure at the coast, helping maintain some moderate easterlies out around Stevenson.

• Gradients should ease this afternoon, so watch for Stevenson and Rooster upper teens to low 20s to lose steam in the next few hours.

• Lighter through the Corridor which may scrape a low teen or two. Same for the Eastern Gorge.
