This was a GREAT system! Thursday started out around 20-25mph in Buffalo….UNTIL…..airs temps cooled off just a little, and then around noon winds ramped up to 35+mph and lasted all day. I went from 4.7m to 3.7m to 3.3m all in a time span of about 15minutes (as I had them all rigged ahead of time and ready to go). Spent nearly the whole day on…[Read more]

Thursday/Friday Forecast:
Nice system coming giving us a couple days of good wind potential in WNY. By Thursday morning the low pressure from the west moves across the GLR. With it comes a cold front and a tasty pressure gradient. The cold front comes through around 8am Thursday, and WSW wind follows it for much of the day.
Look for WSW wind on…[Read more]

mihelbergel replied to the topic Tuesday Forecast in the forum General Windsports Discussion 6 years, 1 month ago
Things are looking MUCH MORE aligned for today on Lake Erie. Not much to speak of on Lake Ontario except for some light NE, but Lake Erie should see some SW between 11am-4pm, then veering NW after. Magnitude 15-30mph. I would watch meters upwind of Buffalo to see what happens there first as the low pressure system moves through. Rain looks like it…[Read more]

Tuesday Forecast:
Today was a great start to October with a couple hours of 30mph wind on Lake Ontario. YEEHAW!!
On Tuesday there is a very localized low pressure system that will pass directly over Buffalo. This means that it’s possible for wind to be blowing NE on Lake Ontario while at the same time blowing SW on Lake Erie.
Right now it looks…[Read more]

Monday Forecast:
High pressure over the GLR for Monday bringing some ENE wind. Both Lake Erie and Lake Ontario have potential for 15-25mph, although models are differing quite a bit. Take a closer look at 5am to make your decisions. Maybe some rain showers, but that’s no big deal. Air temps will still be in the 50’s. Water temp is warm at both…[Read more]

Wow, that is a SUPER cool story. I just love it, especially how tight you were with that group of riders. I’m in Buffalo where we have a small group of windsurfers. We come to the Finger Lakes occasionally. My wife and I have only been sailing about 8 years, but I understand that there was a much larger group in our area back 20-30 years ago. Many…[Read more]

Been a good month so far, and the wind just keeps coming. The last few sessions have been S, but tomorrow gives us some SW that we all love. However, TIMING IS THE KEY for Wednesday.
A low pressure system is forming over Michigan RIGHT NOW. It will move east overnight with the jetstream directly over us. With it comes a…[Read more]

The Finger Lakes will also get some SSE wind, maybe 20-30mph.

Sunday/Monday Forecast:
The high pressure setup today and Monday morning gives us a chance for ENE sessions at Olcott.
Late Sunday afternoon and evening there is a chance for a 15mph session at Olcott. It is a low probability. Monday morning is more probable for a 20mph session at Olcott from dawn until 2pm.

Awesome write-up Doug! LOVE reading it. We didn’t make it to Seneca for this south session. It ended up being SSW which was perfect sideshore at a beach just south of Buffalo, so we went there for a really great day in the sun and storm. Tuesday may be south again, so you might find me at Seneca Lake.
