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...

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...

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)

    Classic Nitinat shaping up.  Fog on the coast formed and a huge temperature differential.   Hope to see nobody there just like may long.   Haha jk.  Packed loaded and ready to go.  Woohoo

    Looks great BWD.  One question, I don't see Trial Island on the "Latest Reports" list.
