Sherman Island

Postby dt73775 » Mon May 13, 2013 8:15 pm

Hi Guys,
Just got back inot town and was wondering if anybody knew if Kiting at Sherman has started or been good. I saw on ikite that winds are picking up on Wednesday and was thinking of heading out that way. Any input on this much appreciated.

ps...Is Little Baja set up already???

On average this early in the season the wind is a bit better at 3rd or Crissy; Sherman Island doesn't usually get excellent until June, but there are good days. The forecast on Ikitesurf is usually pretty OK for Sherman so that should be a good indicator.

Enjoy

The island has delivered in an inconsistent way so far this year. Lots of opportunities if you are staying on-site but if you run out there for an hour or two you might get skunked. Yesterday blew all morning and then, after-work, it fizzled out.

Yes, Little Baja is open for business. Super-dry years can sometimes deliver, but so far it's been only fair to midland...
