Tomorrow sounds like a duplicate of two Saturdays ago. Alameda High tide is at 10:30, low tide at 5.

SW works fine at Alameda, don't wait for the wind to shift because the water will be gone by then. This storm sounds like it will be mostly wind in the Bay, not much rain.

Have fun for me -- I'll be working :-x

RAIN LIKELY.

Hmmm. They're changing the forecast every 5 hours. Not a good sign.

I think the best time to go is at low tide.... Flat water on the inside and rollers on the outside... I love the low tide days..... The lower the better.... Tomorrow at 4-5pm there will be a secret sandbar that will appear down by my place...... if there is still wind, I'll be there in the butter.....
