4/7 Craig's Where to Ride

Postby Craig Goudie » Thu Apr 07, 2011 7:47 am

I thought this front would move through quickly, instead it has stalled, and that means an ample
dose of South wind (to go with the rain). Grantsville looks like 4.5 material this AM and it will
probably hold till 4 or even 5 PM but it'll be gustier as it gets later. Rush AM will be 6/12M conditions
building to 5/10M conditions by 2 or 3 PM. It may switch North out there around 6 or 7 PM.
Mona, Yuba, and UL will get going in the 5.5/10M range most of the afternoon, but, there's still a chance that UL will switch North early evening. Willard might get 6.5/12 from Noon till dusk, but with
a lot of rain coming in today, it looks iffy. DC will be really gusty and up around 10 (or even 9) for
6/12m conditions. High temps in the low 50s make for pretty cold sailing in a 20MPH breeze.

Tomorrow more colder air and more rain/snow, with more South wind at Grants and Rush AM.
UL, DC, Mona, and Yuba will probably get planable PM South wind, but air temps barely clip the 40
degree mark, so maybe Snowkiting is the real call.

Saturday slim chance for huge gear planable North wind at Rush and UL.
