As long as you got the right size kites, Alameda is usually ridable in storms. It is pretty rare that it is too windy to kite but it does happen. Typically it just blows too hard for a little bit and then it dies off enough to ride again or it is just too late and dark anyway.fearlu wrote:From the NWS for the Bay, late Saturday...
"se winds 30 to 40 kt with occasional gusts to 50 kt"
Is that really kiting weather for Alameda or should I work on taxes? Local experts, please provide guidance. My first thought is "too dangerous". You goin'?
Bring a 10, 9 or 7 depending on your size and skill but I typically pack a 12 in the car as well cause you never know and it aint worth getting in that wet suit and cold water and be on a kite that is too small.

please be careful out there this weekend. If the colors are right many of us should not be kiting at all! Let's live to kite another day. I actually dont think i have ever seen this color on ikite before :) normally they forecast the storms lower than they actually are. this is forecast in pink at 40!
