The season has begun in the SF Bay Area

In the SF Bay Area we've had good winds over the last week. The season has started. I wish that the weather forecasts form iWindsurf.com could start earlier than April. The March startup is typical so maybe the weather forecasts could start up say March 15 at the latest for SF Bay Area.

Thanks, Tom

I am out in Dublin and noticed our good NW wind pattern Thursday

Did you get out to 3rd ave or Coyote ?

No, just Berkeley. For the last week or so the winds have been W-NW in the 15-20 mph range, sometimes around 20 for an hour or more, for a few hours in the the afternoons.

coyote has been better than 3rd this week as the low tide was in middle of the afternoon. You have less of a mud problem with low tide at coyote than at 3rd. Something to keep in mind ....

I actually miss Tomales and was hoping to get the gear loaded back in the car and head out there this weekend. But of course, the forecast is for the NW winds to end by Saturday. Figures.....
