5.12 Forecast

Good morning sailors!

Where were you people yesterday? You missed great sailing at The Wall and Roosevelt! Are you still skiing? Is gas too expensive? I don't get it... 3.2 and 3.7 conditions with no crowds. Strange... maybe it's just too cold still. Temperatures never topped 60 at the sailing sites. That will change soon, don't worry. You'll be begging to jump in the icy Punchbowl come Thursday and Friday!

Yesterday wasn't your last chance to play in the river. Today brings lighter winds in the 17-21 range.

A warm front approaches Oregon overnight. If rain doesn't spread over the entire region, we'll see wind in the 22-26 range on Tuesday afternoon.

Wind continues through Wednesday. This post-frontal wind will be better quality than Tuesday's wind. Look for 23-27 for the better part of the day.

Well, that was probably the most boring forecast ever. I think the Pledge Drive babbling in the background is stealing my creative juices.

Have a great day today!

I'm surprised it wasn't more popular out at Roosevelt, I saw your onsite reports and the wind graph looked great. My friend and I sailed The Wall and I'm glad to be one of the relative few who have been getting some rather great conditions in the early part of the season. My smaller sails are getting a workout. It was a great day and I'm looking forward to warmer conditions, but not the big crowds.

Got to Doug's about noon. Went out about 1 PM on a 3.7. Wrong. Came in shortly and rigged a 2.7. But it was a little under, I needed a 3.0 so I went out on a 3.2 and had a good time down wind, great swells.
