GEMcast 10/1-2

[Geoff]

Wow, September is gone. Solidly into the fall season now, with 6-8 weeks left in the season, on average over the last few years. Was hoping for a better weekend, but it is what it is.

Most unusual situation this weekend, as a large slow-moving Low (and Low aloft) are out in the midwest and going to suck eastern moisture into the region for the weekend (and probably early next week). So it’ll be rainy (>60% predicted), but not really rainy. Will just have to see what that means when the time comes. Expected amounts of 0.25-0.75″. North country will be drier, but won’t have as much wind. Cooler than it has been, upper 50s – 60s, due to cloud cover.

SAT:

Inland lakes will be pretty light, aside from Oneida Shores County Park (east end of Oneida). Main reason Oneida will go off is that the cone-shaped western end funnels the wind and with a solid 10+ from the east, it should be upper teens and maybe into low 20s on Oneida. Otherwise, the only spots I’d call for the Rochester area crew are Braddock Bay and Hamlin Beach SP, west of Rochester. Guess it depends if you want the option of protected water or only want lake swells.

Big O Nearshore Fx: EAST WINDS 15 TO 20 KNOTS. SHOWERS LIKELY. WAVES 2 TO 4 FEET. SUN: Lighter, just as wet, southerly as the low gets closer and passes over late Sun or Sun evening. Doesn’t look like much anywhere in the region. Cool, wet, light longboardy winds…doesn’t look like it’ll be a choice day for wind sports anywhere in our region.
