Utah Lake (PBH live webcam Lindon live webcam)The Provo Muni Airport reads true to North wind speeds at Lindon. South readings- consistent if the wind is Southwest. Southeast wind, pass on Utah lake. The Saratoga Springs is OK for park conditions. The Springville (SSB) site is a qualifier for wind at the South Sandy Beach. The Bluffdale North is 2 hrs befor SSB. |
|
Deer Creek (DC live webcam)The Charleston station North of lake 20 feet off the ground. Currently best indicator of on lake conditions. The Dam Chute is very consistent for sailing Sailboat Beach. The Arrowhead reporting station at 8,252 feet, good predictor of planable winds from the Southwest.

Sulfur CreekThe First Divide station is the best bet. Wahsatch EB may be a good predictor for West wind at Sulphur.
|
Salt PondsSketchy parking. Anywhere between mile post 91 and 92, on I 80.South only works if we have some strong south. The North Thermal is strong. The Bermester station is at west end of the ponds. The north thermal is not as strong as Rush.

YubaMorning Thermals in the 6.5 to 8.5 range under a South or Southwesterly flow. |
|
MonaSouth wind potential much like Rush. Look for local South conditions at 15-25 before you go. The "Nephi" link is about 7 miles from Mona. |
