Hello All, This is it. We are closing down the shop at Lake Nitinaht. I loved reporting on the weather on a daily base, and I hope you found it useful. My plan is to be back next year and start reporting as soon as I get to the lake, sometimes middle to end of May 2026. I am looking...

Wing Rescue Technique

It had been requested that I post up a how-to for rescuing runaway wings. I've successfully done it at least once so I guess it makes me an internet expert on the topic. Please feel free to add any methods or insights to this thread. The following is what seemed to work for me the other day...

Marine Synopsis

Currently, a broad area of high pressure over the NE PAC exists along with a surface thermal trough extending northward along the West Coast. This has lead to light offshore flow recently however, a flow reversal is in store. Onshore flow looks to return on Tuesday as a frontal system draws near. With it, small craft winds are possible for the coastal waters Tuesday evening into Wednesday. The latest NBM and HREF probabilities suggest a 50-100% chance of sustained winds exceeding 21 kt. The highest probabilities are for the outer coastal waters. Wave heights with this system will increase to 8-11 ft around this time with the largest waves over the outer coastal waters. Seas will subside Wednesday afternoon to 5-7 ft and will continue decreasing into Friday to 3-5 ft. Additional systems may move over the waters late in the week. However, the latest guidance suggests marine impacts will be minimal at this time. McMillian (Issued: 251 PM PDT Mon Oct 6 2025 by NOAA)

Some info here and yes they are separate. For forum PMs I think it should be in sent or Outbox if unread.

The models are having a hard time predicting the wind again. Must be that time of the year for motha earth. Dallas Rd for example.

I just noticed Pipers Lagoon is actually called Page Lagoon. It was neat seeing the lagoon bottom in the dark with just a small headlamp on my arm as I got closer to its shore. Could tell by the color and texture when it was time to turn or else start fin mining the sand.

  I wonder if Dallas Rd predictions would benefit from a weather head at Harry's Webcam or perhaps at the foot of Clover Pt??? In this case probably not as the inconsistencies are much larger scale topologically speaking.
