SI rideable on NW?

Just saw Sherman Island will get some WNW tomorrow. Does any north wind make it too gusty or is it just a straight NW or N that makes it not rideable? Anyone riding there regularly these days? Looks to me like the season there has started!

There are number of posts on the subject. Most suggest avoiding on days with too much North, both for safety concerns (i.e. not many rescue options to the south of the launch) and on that it's gusty.
That said, I had a great day there a while ago on NNW. It was fun because it was strong and had the place to myself and one other guy. Those very things made it feel sketchy though too.

Marker 10 is 21W, Marker 14 is 23 WSW, looks perfect. May fade later, but looks good.
