Weather?

It saves me the drive sometimes.

Too true. If it's 15+ I usually go back to bed. No bueno.

I often wonder where iwindsurf get their report. I used to alway go by iwindsurf. I'd drive to the launch expecting light texture on the water, and it would be blown out. So, I always use the TP glider port. Like right now (1100pm) iwindsurf 2mph, TP glider port 13mph.

I agree Dennis. Iwindsurf sucks. Their sensor must be on the point somewhere blocked by land. Gliderpoint is almost always right on.

12-14 76 right now. Ugh. At least you won't need to paddle in the morning to get out.

Thanks for looking out guys. I never even got up to check the weather this morning. I'm more than a few miles from the launch, so your advice not only saved me some bucks, but it may have saved my upper body as well.
It must be nice to look out the window or make a quick run to the point to check things out. I envy you. I have been landlocked for a few weeks now and I'm chomping at the bit. Looks like the end of the week or next weekend for me. Thanks again and good luck to all.

I was hell bent to go fishing, so I made the trek down at 4 AM. It felt like 10-12 kts all morning, not ideal, but definitely fishable ....at least I brought home lobster bait.

NO LOVE ANDY! Nice bait!!! Go job on the yellow. Next time I will listen to my gut. WTG

LOL! F'n Andy. Good Job! So, I take it the squirts are gone?

Where is this TP report. I have to make a long drive and this sounds like a way to avoid a long drive for nothing.

I put this in the wrong quote a while back.
