Wow. Missed most of the day – it was going off <i>ALL</i> day – because of crises at work. Dang. An important meeting for Tuesday got canceled, which allowed me to pack up and head to the lake. A few windsurfers and kiters out on the west wall (Bill and I’m not sure whom else as we didn’t get close enough to identify).

Bit of an unusual pattern this weekend, as a high pressure / cold front passed over (or is passing over as I write this), in a relatively “dry” nor’easter. Also not very strong compared to a “real” nor’easter.

The main consequence is that you’ll realize quickly that Thursday was the autumnal equinox and summer is OVER. You’ll likely need neoprene…[Read more]

Similar on Saturday to last weekend, Sunday looking very iffy.

SAT: S winds, Fx to be low-to-mid teens across the area, so with a boost from Seneca’s long fetch I’d expect upper teens. Likely will turn on early and be much steadier in the AM, so I would favor getting there earlier than later. Bigger gusts probable in the PM, but recent experience…[Read more]

Good buddy of mine in Pittsburgh is selling a very, VERY, lightly used JP Super Sport 127. He got it because he caved-in the deck of his MADD 135, but shortly after getting it found a used MADD to replace the one he wore out. So this Super Sport is immaculate. Very fast and easy to ride board for light-to-moderate winds. Wants $500 for it. Heckuva…[Read more]

Finally.

Stormy day tomorrow, but with S and SW winds (depending on location). Clearing and drier air Sunday, with some real wind on Ontario.

SAT: Best bet is Erie, for SW around 20. Seneca should be moderate S (~15 with gusts). Storms are the unknown, but expect some squalls if not thunderstorms. Hopefully less rain than wind.

SUN: Best bet is…[Read more]

Well, I said at the end of last year that somebody needs to take over this gig, because I’m not bringing any luck.

3-day weekend, warm summer days, and we get a big high pressure sittin’ on top of us.

SAT: Negligible chance of afternoon thermals on Erie / Ontario, but some chance.

SUN & MON: L&V

To satisfy my need for speed, I’m going to see…[Read more]
