Hey All,
I am coming out to Bay Area for October. I try to bring kites everywhere I go but curious what are the chances of decent wind at 3rd, Sherman's, coast or elsewhere. I would even consider driving a couple hours to bang a session in.
Appreciate any insight.

Re: Bay Area Kiting in October
Two days in the last Three years for me in October... I get more in November... January is the worst month for the Bay Area IMO
Its sad, i get a little depressed when kiting season ends. also get a little fat.

Re: Bay Area Kiting in October
3rd usually gets anywhere from 30mins -2hrs of wind in the late afternoon most days in October. Its usually pretty light though so bring a big kite or a skimboard. Your best bet is to just be there. By the time you check the sensor and drive out the wind could be dead. Sometimes we get warm northerly winds/offshore flow which makes a couple places fun to ride.

Re: Bay Area Kiting in October
Thanks guys. I appreciate the responses.
Looks like I will have to bring kites. I can't stand the idea of not kiting for the whole month.
I will check in when I get there.
Cheers!

Hey All!
I fly into the bay area today. Where is the best bet for wind?
3rd Ave in late afternoon?
Sherman?
Mahalo for any recommendations.

Sherman doesn't look very promising.
