Do t Ikitesurf forcasters even check the wind

[dewey]

So Alameda is already over 20, what's up with the crappy forcast? It was blowing when the forcast was updated!! The last 2 days I made plans because the forcast was for calm wind. I can understand them not being able to forcast wind, but if it's blowing in the upper teens already while you forcast for sub to low teens it makes you wonder. Last year they would forcast teens at Sherman while it was blowing almost 30. If they check the winds while they make the forcast it would help.

In Charlie we trust!

Ikitesurf sucks for forecasts. The only thing it is good for is if everywhere is showing yellow or above there is probably wind somewhere.

I think that Charlie should do it as a second job.

I'll second that..In Charlie we trust!

They seem to be trying harder to get Alameda forcast correct,
but it seems to be unforcastable, especially when the summer
thermals get underway!.The whole bay can be on fire, and its
pure glass @ Alameda!

But if it's blowing while your putting out the forcast that should be a clue.

I have to agree, this is not too cool . . . Stuart is goofing-off on the job. Give iKiteSurf feedback, they've always responded to me in the past. Just recently I asked why HMB wasn't being included in the tables on good potential days, and now it's there!

Cheers,

weather.com does a better forecast then ikitesurf. never rely on ikitesurf. I always check all the sensors.
