Got Wind?

Got Wind?
March 27, 2011 01:00PM
Is there any weather station in La Manzanilla. I am living in Melaque and lately it never seems to get windy enough for kiteboarding. I was up there 2 weeks ago and there was plenty of whitecaps on the bay. I asked a local gringa and she claimed it was strong enough for whitecaps everyday. Drove up again... nada. But an hour after I left I guess it was blowing.
Verdad?
If there isn't a weather station, is the a "bay cam". Looking for any wind over 12kts
TIA,
Thanks in Advance
Kip

had to send you one more, as the kiwi's say when looking outside.."sheep are grazing"
I used to windsurf quite a bit Scott's Creek and Wadell so I still have a pretty good feel for windspeed..john

Trouble is that is not La Manzanilla ... maybe somewhere on Tenacatita Bay

Afternoons are always (+/-) here or there

Definitely prime kite sites that make me drool. This year has been somewhat strange here in Melaque. I've never gone 16 days without a single whitecap.
John, I got your PM. I've shared it with two local kiters that know the terrain better than I. Hope.
Thanks
Kip

Hi Kip, just one more, for Sparks too, since this one is Tenacatita, just northwest of the old Hotel Bahia, but can't
remember the exact time of year for this one. Wishing you buen aire, john
