The Peconic Puffin

A blog about a group of windsurfers and other water sports enthusiasts, and their friends. Established 1993.

Chimply Lord Scotworth the Earl of Kielt is excited about Saturday.

"GALE WARNING! he texts, with various emoticons of approval and joy.

The forecast is for due west, so once again Sebonac Inlet will be our destination.*

Wind chimpBut when precisely?  When does his Chimpliness say will be the very bestest, la creme de la conditions?

"One hour before low and two hours after."   Tides, he means.   So for tomorrow, with low tide at 1:38pm we're talking 12:38-3:38.

If nothing changes I'm aiming to be on the water by noon.  Sans gloves.   But then when does nothing change?

*If nothing changes.  Wait I just said something about that…

(Scott always rinses his gear after a session.)
