West Seattle Weather Watch: Breezy but no advisory

Thanks to K for the afternoon view from Constellation Park via iPhone – note the kayaker at the center of the frame. (Perhaps Mark, featured here 4 weeks ago?) *Added* More than one – Danny McMillin shares this photo from the same area:

The breezy weather will continue. The newest forecast says tonight won’t be as wake-you-up gusty as last night – though tomorrow might be close. No alerts, so far, however, and we also haven’t heard or seen any major damage from last night’s round of wind.

    Wait for those rare days of strong north winds that’s when its alot cleaner and the swells set nice along the point.

    yup. That’s my husband Mark and his friend Mike – also a local. I was happily ensconced in front of a fire with my knitting. :)

    On a north wind the seawall along the beach lights up pretty good but those are far less common as winds out of the SW. Also, if you want to surf you need to be there at low tide otherwise the waves build a bit then just drop out. If you’re interested in knowing about these little outings let me know and I’ll get you in the loop as these are regular trips for me this time of year.

    Glad to see they’re in white water kayaks and not sea kayaks.

    I’ve been out in the sea kayaks doing rescue practice during the storms but that wasn’t the goal on this day. With the sea boat you just can’t get it around fast enough to get in close to the seawall. With the WW boat you can get literally right up against the wall and ride the wave up the curve.

Sorry, comment time is over.
