Wind, and Classifieds. They have a larger drawing of sellers. Their Forum is pretty weak

I go to www.iksurfmag.com for any new videos etc, and their reviews of products are pretty good - on BAK, would be great to see a tab for videos posted by local contributors and travels, and also reviews of existing or new products, as the recent ones of 'water proof covers' for phones etc. Very useful

If you have a paid subscription, just look at the forecast:

If you have a free subscription, simple observations needed:
1) If its hot on the east bay (80's to 90's Concord, Walnut Creek for example), and its cold in the bay (Alameda, San Francisco), then chances are its gonna blow in Alameda and third at around 3 to 4 pm.

2) I find abc channel 7 forecast is pretty accurate with wind predictions compared to other public channels, so watch the channel 7 11 pm news.

3) Pay attention to high pressure systems, if the pressure is on the bay, then we will have offshore to no winds, bathing suit day. If the high pressure is off the coast, then kite on.
