5/30 Craig's Where to Ride
Posted: Sat May 30, 2020 9:57 amGrantsville has some strong dead West wind this AM which usually causes the dreaded
one side of the lake light and the other side really windy. If you're willing to suffer
that, it'll be on until 11 or Noon. Even though the predicter isn't predicting wind at DC,
I still think it looks promising up there for very gusty 7/12M conditions from Noon until 5.
It'll probably be less gusty when it 1st comes up. Jordanelle lagging, but similar 7/14
around 1 PM until 5. As clouds roll in later in the afternoon, you may be tempted to
try Utah Lake. I'd pass on that as I think there will be brief really strong really gusty SW
wind down there around 6PM and then nothing by 7.
Tomorrow, Sulfur Creek looks like a really good call for 6M sails PM and low 70s air temps.
the water will still be really cold so suit up accordingly.
Monday looks promising at Grantsville, DC, and Sulfur Creek.

If you feel your sailing is essential(and frankly in my case it is essential to
good marital relations), research your launch for access. Remember
that staying at home is the safest probabilistically and if you do choose to go out
follow the Governor's Social Distancing rules. As I say in my
general disclaimer, these forecasts are for entertainment purposes only
