Extreme Kites Kiteboarding Wind Report and Forecast

Forecast Date: Mon Jul 26 12:57 pm

As we approach August the chances of rideable wind decrease as the summer doldrums kick in. Mornings are back to offshore winds, with clean conditions perfect for stand up paddle surfing. There is always a chance of an afternoon sea breeze increasing around 6 p.m. as it turns more southerly. Jacksonville and Fernandina have a better chance of rideable wind the next couple of afternoons than St. Augustine south. Watch for an increasing chance of afternoon thunderstorms starting tomorrow which could kill the wind.

In the tropics a tropical wave interacting with an upper level low over the Yucatan shows some signs of a rotation, but interaction with land will prevent it from developing until it emerges over the Bay of Campeche tomorrow. Nothing coming off Africa at the current time, but the intertropical convergence zone is flaring up well east of the Windward Islands which bears watching as it moves slowly west.

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.
