8/30 Craig's Where to Ride
Posted: Tue Aug 30, 2011 9:19 amGrantsville looking pretty good this AM for 6.5 sails, but pretty gusty, and as usual don't
figure on that lasting past Noon. Sulfur looks like 8M sail material Noon until 5. DC has
a chance for 8/16M conditions 2-4PM.
Tomorrow howler South winds. Grantsville AM will probably be 4.5 sails. If you've
got a weed fin, or can keep your kite lines out of the "water", Rush will probably
honk hard in the 4/8M range. Mona and Willard look like 5/10M conditions from Noon until
5 or 6PM. Sulfur looks like 5M conditions from Noon until 6 also. DC will be wildly gusty
and up before Noon, probably in the 5.5/10M range, but it might not be too Kiter friendly.
Thursday, Sulfur 5.5 West PM, DC 7.5/14 Southwest late AM to early PM (maybe only an
hour or so), Rush 5.5/10 North PM (again if you can tolerate the moss), and the best bet
UL Launches where it will be 5.5/10 North PM with a gusty early afternoon followed by
Lincoln bliss around the dinner hour.
