Right now I see no kiteable wind for the next 7 days. Not only here. But also the gorge, Texas, SC, NC and Florida a nation wide lull is very strange. Anyone have a theory on this.
Our only hope is, long range wind forcast are not that accurate. Perhaps if I plan a water ski party the wind will come up.

Re: Where did the wind go.
My bad
Tom you can blame it on me my 9m was not doing the job so I got a 15 meter and as soon as I paid for it the wind died. I guess asking you to teach me deep water starts is out of the question now. Sorry everybody what can I do to make it up to you all.

Re: Where did the wind go.
Summer in MN....here come the 3 week dry spells. Back to my bathroom remodeling project!!!!
What forecasts are you looking at Tom?
I'd be happy to be in Hood River all week (21-21 W in Hood River today) or Corpus (South wind between 20 and 22 mph, with gusts as high as 28 mph) or San Francisco (West wind between 9 and 17 mph, with gusts as high as 22 mph)
Keep an eye out for next week - Mon/Tues/Wed/Th - we have a SE'erly flow setting up and if things (i.e. pressure gradients) improve we may at least have warm temps and big-kitable wind.

Time for tubing, water ski and wakeboarding, break out the jet ski!!
Re: Where did the wind go.
I used it all up last week on Friday (Father Hennepin) and Sunday (The Mother).
I am not going to complain for at least several days (oops, weeks.)

Re: Where did the wind go.
We have had an onshore push of marine clouds in Portland since Tuesday. It feels like the wind season has started, but I haven't checked the Gorge for awhile. All I know is I need a sweater for golf.
