Is it safe to kite at Alameda since the oil spill?

Looks like a good chance of early morning/afternoon winds? Anyone down. Looks like strong winds so bring small kites but this is Alameda so probably best to pack the 12 as well. Gotta check my gear tonight. Been a long time since I have been on the water.

hey pipe
i just hit it and it was clean
and open.

Cool cool! I'll be there bright and early if it is blowin!! =D>

Pipe! You disappeared man.

I went out a few days after the spill when all the signs were up and there aint nothing out there. And by now i am sure whatever was floating has coagulated down low and will only surface slowly over the next millenia. :(

But is tomorrow blows early my suggestion is to sieze the moment. i waited today for a few hours thinking it would just die down. Well it only died down right after i got suited up at 3. So Ill be out there bright and early if we actually get a puff.

Fingers crossed. I'll be there if it's good and it's gonna be chilly. I was out at Tomales on Friday and it was icey cold. Brrrr. I'd love to hit up Alameda man! Goin' to bed now so i can check the meter first thing in the mornin. Hope to see you guys there!

I'm looking outside and the water is ebbing fast with the start of the south winds. Direction is great, side on shore(south obviously) . Brush is moving faster than trees, trying to figure this out but looks like it will be a possible 7-10meter day for sure. I'll have hot cocoa waiting on the porch.

I am brewing coffee about to jump in the car. iKite says 20 gusting to 23

See you at the beach.

Wow. Your Ikite is telling you something different than mine; 10 E.

I'm getting 10 at Alameda also, no need to run out yet!

I thought that sesor was useless when it is reading E. Pipedragon is talking about the Alameda PORTS sensor.

So what's the onsite report???

See you on the water.
