Gcosloy Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Meet at the small beach at Harris Island Road. http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=4126971 10:30AM BIB 11:00AM LT is 12:10PM ride out to the ocean on the last of the outgoing tide and travel North to Long Sands. Magic Seaweed forecast currently is for 1 to 1.5' and 10sec. periods, perfect for mild surfing, bracing, etc.(helmets and immersion gear necessary). Paddle up to Nubble light house and return to the harbor with the incoming tide. NOAA forecast for Sunday is mild conditions. RSVP here. I will monitor forecasts the rest of the week and update if necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weather.com calls York area at 23 WNW, gusts to 40 (!), rain 30%. Is there any way to stay alee of this, Gene? It's Halloween, but I'd hate to look the part without a costume.

If there is concern about the wind we could revise the trip to some more sheltered area. One possible idea is launch from the Kittery Wharf paddle through the back channel in Portsmouth Harbor and circle Newcastle, back to the wharf and paddle Chauncey Creek up to the Seapoint bridge and back. Most of this would be less wind but we might have to contend with some tidal current. What do others think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rylevine Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 ........http://www.weather.com/weather/today/USME0480 How does Tuesday sound for this trip? Found this on the web site under text for Sunday. Windy with a few showers in the morning then partly cloudy in the afternoon. High near 50F. Winds WNW at 20 to 30 mph. Chance of rain 30%. Winds could occasionally gust over 40 mph. I'm OK changing to another day during the week. Tuesday not likely for me though. I remember last spring around Gerrish with very high gusts. Is it the area? Will check later tonight for an update. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gcosloy Posted October 30, 2010 Author Share Posted October 30, 2010 Well, if the consensus is to move this to Tuesday, I'm OK with that. I'm still open to do something more sheltered tomorrow as well. York to Nubble is cancelled for Sunday. Post here if anyone wants to go out into the Portsmouth Harbor and out to Little Harbor, Rye tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gcosloy Posted October 30, 2010 Author Share Posted October 30, 2010 Why aren't you guys using a marine wx site for wx info??? Marine Wx: York/Cape Neddick Jon Jon I use the NOAA graphical forecast: http://www.weather.gov/forecasts/wfo/secto...ineDay.php#tabs which has a similar forecast as the one you provided. Either way if gusts are only 25 and not 40 they're still 25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
