Hey well if your forecasts more than 7 days out are best guesses at most, why not extend that to 90 days as the accuracy should stay roughly the same!

Yep concur...and it is the outside break... U may get too cocky and do a back loop off of it and if ur really ...i mean really!! unlucky the rare breaker is followed by four of its friends that make u sputter a little....the odds of that are very low...and will teach u better judgement. It's all just water ...u can swim after your gear and usually easily /hopefully catch it before the beach break to save your sail/mast....in the end it's a good story...ask me how I know :D don't worry so much, just go...I'll hold yer hand buddy..well..unless whitey chimes in :roll: besides...there are choices, chicken gybes are a good one, u don't have to go there unless u want to, eh?

Yep, there are choices like chicken jibing, not going to the coast, learning kiting, and writing about going to the coast next year...

Ouch wd?! Damn. That hits hard. Tough love I guess?

OK....that's it then. No more posting in this thread by me until I go to the Coast. I must face my fear...likely last two weeks of June, first week of July for me.

Hoping for May 19-31st, nuclear exposure Gorge if the coast isn't to be :shock: let's hope the kusshine isn't quite as tired as me and provides another few summers of Oregon joy, the true paydays!! :twisted: busted LB mast replaced n ready 8)

Starting to watch the forecasts for when my window opens (June 17). Some interesting early indications (although still early).

Swell trending up. :D

Some background south swell. :D

Wind seems to be showing a promising pattern on June 18 (if I remember the MoreWind tutorial correctly). :)

Hoping. Watching. Waiting.
