Yeah they're already backing off that stormy forecast pretty hard. Talking now about the storms getting broken up by the big ridge.

Okay, so even if SE is kiteable at Alameda, isn't it offshore on the coast? Or are there spots where it is side-on?

Today is one of those slit-your-wrists kinda Tule fog days where the sun ain't gonna shine all day. I need SOMETHING to hope for.

i think half moon bay gets se wind
i might just have to check it out.
i like the coast forcast it seems there is energy outside that could or could not
come in

[Pablito]

Hmmm. Three hours to Kirkwood. Three hours to Half Moon Bay.

Maybe I should flip a coin.

Tide is low afternoon, may be good to get the mountain board out for a walk on the beach.

Props out to those who go brave the cold stinging rain (hood helps a lot)!

I think I'll be in HMB on sunday, Ive never kited in the harbor before so if someone will be there, Id like to talk to them about the kind of skills are needed to be there, plus its nice to know someone will be watching your back.

PS. man I wish I owned gloves, the water is freezing...but its worth it.
