Wind is ramping up outside my house as we speak. Hamburg is already nearing my limit. Long Pond looks good in the forecast for windsurfers, but I and Windkid Bill are curious about the Seneca suggestion. Where to launch in a SW- windsurfing? Chamber? much of a wind shadow? work upwind from the park?

Forget your mother. Tomorrow looks like it is going to be pretty good (much smoother wind) and will hopefully come around to the N a bit more. I was thinking a bit of E bay road or durand if its a tad more NW than WNW. Anyone going out or will I be the only motherless person??

Took my trainer out and then had to give up after what seemed like some 35 gusts at the Seneca park. As of 9:45 no one out on the lake.
I can see it from my apartment. I will probably be installing an anemometer and webcam out the window soon. Any donations gladly accepted.

Really!?
Researcher. You are endearing yourself to the wind-folks quite well with that anemometer and webcam offer. Where exactly is your location?

I over look the long pier and can see the park on the other side. 35-40mph+ gales just hit at exactly 2:48pm. straight west back down to 25 at 3:17. My wife has a cam and I can stream over the web. But I could use some advice on how to get the anemometer data to stream on the web in real time. Im not a web designer. This is about the resolution I can get with a 7mp camera (not a webcam): picasaweb.google.com/109093845840307532358/SenecaLakeConditions#not sure if the resolution from a web cam is good enough but if you zoom in on the camera pic you can see the flag and some whitecaps |

David,
I'm back from Hatteras and will try heading out to Webster early afternoon. Perhaps also the Webster side of the Bay outlet.

Great, I am glad I am not the only one who feels that the wind is more important than my mother. I just woke up from my after work nap and I'm going to head out. I'm going to head to Montana, if its not goof I may head up to Webster but not sure if I have the energy to haul my windsurfing gear and kiting nuts up there. Hope Hatteras was good, I bet there was not snow at least.
