Extreme Kites Kiteboarding Wind Report and Forecast

Forecast Date: Thu Mar 11 12:17 pm

It is raining. Oh, and I just heard some thunder. No, let me revise that description, it is POURING OUTSIDE. Not the best kiteboarding weather. It is forecast to rain again all day tomorrow. Over the weekend the wind goes back out of the west, big surprise.

The weather pattern is changing slightly, but not really in our favor yet. The models have been wrong more than right this season, and with springtime quickly approaching they are going to get less accurate with time. If you want to kite, your best bet is going to be over the weekend at your favorite west wind spot like Parrish Park, Porpoise Point or Huguenot Park. Otherwise head over to Tampa where they have been enjoying a banner El Nino winter of wind and waves. The Florida Keys are always a good getaway this time of year as well with wind starting to come around more from the east, so you can ride off the beach with no need for a boat.

Remember, no weather forecast is as good as actual observation. Always check the local conditions before heading out! Be especially aware of approaching storms on the radar. Make sure to check out our new Matanzas Inlet sensor on IKitesurf.com.
