It's freaking gorgeous out!!!!

If the wind is screwed up we could always just walk around naked carrying coolers. Rolling Eyes

The water level at Rooster was high, noticed that the marsh land just north of 84 before the Troutdale exit when your heading west was also wet. You can still drift launch from the shallow water near the parking lot just fine.


There's a great beach for launching a few hundred yards east of the volleyball courts. Just keep going past the volleyball sign and stop when you hit the water. There's ankle deep water you have to slog through a few places enroute... 5 or 10 minute hike from the East end of the parking lot.

Im heading out now. Genek, If you need gloves still, I'll leave a pair behind my driver's side front wheel. I'm driving a blue chevy Cobalt 2 door. I'll be at the far east end of the parking lot. See y'all out there! Very Happy

Good stuff out at RR if anyone's wondering. Nice wind in the 7-10M range when I was there 12-2. Last reading was down a bit though....

No sand at the Vball courts but lots of shallow for easy 2-person launches.

the wind slacked off later in the afternoon but still decently powered on the 9m. I was completely warm in my 5/4/3 except for my left big toe.

Definitely nice to be out on the water again!

IT'S ON IN 08!!

Looks like it's blowing through the night and should be good on Thursday. Gonna try hit it once it warms up. Would be stoked to bum a pair of gloves if someone comes out with a spare set again. Hope to see the crew out there.

I screwed up and left my spare set on the ground behind my front wheel... Feel free to use them if they're still there!

Don't know if it's going to go today. Crying or Very sad

Windbow looks good, but all the forecasts I've seen show the wind dropping off in the afternoon... Stevenson's 11-15ENE right now, Troutdale's 8E.

Rooster's sensor is reading SE @ 6 (1-12). Bizarre reading but better than the S direction it had before. I'm waiting a couple hours to see what happens. Tomorrow could possibly blow as well so not all hope is lost.

Doesn't look like it's going to go today. Was up to 10E and now down to 8E. Any on site reports?
