5/13 Craig's Where to Ride
Posted: Wed May 13, 2020 2:14 amIf you feel your sailing is essential, research your launch for access. Remember
that staying at home is the safest probabilistically and if you do choose to go out
follow the Governers Social Distancing rules. As I say in my
general disclaimer, these forecasts are for entertainment purposes only.
Weds looks like a gustier version of Tuesday at DC with bigger holes. Look for
similar 6/12M condition but I'd use a really floaty board (windsurfing might
be a little safer than Kiting )and figure on wind coming
in from the Southwest around Noon and blast/ lulling you until 5PM or so.
There'll be pretty strong wind NW at UL early morning, but that will decrease rapidly
to unridably light West wing by mid day. Do not despair though because NW winds will return
in the 8/16M range late afternoon through evening maybe getting to 7/14 around dusk.
Sulfur Creek with a dangerously cold air cold water day of gusty 5.5M sail conditions in the afternoon.
Cloudy skies and a much cooler day with potential for some rain at all locations.
Thursday actually looks a lot like Wednesday wind and location wise but a little sunnier.
Stay Healthy
