Gorge can be flakey in August - hard to predict. At least the no-wind shopping is great.

If you are looking on WindGuru for Nitinat or Nimpkish forecasts you should be aware that WindGuru uses grid output "... GFS data on windguru have about 50 km resolution .." (http://www.windguru.cz/int/help_index.php?sec=windmod). Because the N-spots are driven by local thermal cycles they will not show up in the model.
I wish my TOW was longer!
