Strange wind for Saturday

Strange wind for Saturday when you look at iKite, but i doubt that will happen.

I'm most likely going to Yirrell, but depends on the wind/waves/my mood i guess.

Cloudy with plenty of showers across the region. However, strong and gusty NW to WNW winds are expected. CT shores seeing mid to upper teens; RI seeing upper teens to around 20; Cape Cod and the North Shore seeing low 20's +. Note:Some gusty morning ESE to SSE winds will be possible at Cape Cod and maybe eastern RI before the front passes through.

IKitesurf's Meteorologists

Every forecast that I can find for Boston tomorrow morning, (including IKitsurf's computer model), says E or NE winds cept IKitsurf's super duper special wind meteorologists. They see NW or WNW winds. They're either brilliant or they pick their forecasts at random out of a hat.

If they're right I'll start to trust them a little bit again. Anyone want to take bets?

Yes, they are truly the outlier. After 20+ years of predicting windsport weather in New England, seldom have I seen WNW coupled with rain and thunderstorms, so I think it's a brain fart.

Nahant will be a washing machine

NE works better at Yirrel. Waves won't be sloppy either but I guess Nahant is just as well.

Oh i am sure that you will be aware (esp with a 13m in the sky)...I was saying beware...as in accidents happen in gusty conditions.

also be aware of the forecast and wind trends. I doubt we will see gusts to 30. Although I would love to be proven wrong!

Guessing 11am due to hang

Guessing 11am due to hang over to be. Will get up early though and check wind. If it looks really good I might be able to drag myself out of bed earlier. Will make decision between nahant or revere in am and post back here.

Always better to be

Always better to be overpowered than underpowered, when in doubt fly a bigger kite!! I liked the idea of Yirrell but I guess I can do Nahant, just need to wait until Gina goes to work at noon time.
