|
|
Hi,
Anyone know what direction is good for Chapin down in Cape Cod?
Looks like Sun, 5/4, that the wind is going to be stronger out that way
than W Dennis and be ESE.
Is it tidal there, think high tide is 11 am tmrrw but the wind will be highest
at 8 am.
Thanks,
Greg |

Chapin is good NE,N,NW,W, SW. Very tidal, 2 hours on either side of low tide and you have yourself a long walk to the edge of the mudflats. Mayflower just a 1/2 mile to the East eliminates that. Steve's blog can give you more info

Looks like they blew the forecast again... |

Chapin won't be very good in a S.E. unless you sail way out into the Bay. However, sailing an off shore wind isn't recommended.

In fact all the parking lots thereabouts require a long walk to the launch.

West Dennis Beach was good today. South East brought some nice wind swell. |
