Locust Info

Locust is kiteable on SE to SW winds, although occasionally W and NW are kiteable.  Tides under 2ft will require a walk out to the water, and tides over 7ft can reduce the amount of shallow waters in some areas.

This sensor is located 1 mile west of locust beach and is useful for actual on water readings.

Locust Beach
Locust Beach - Click for Full Size - NOTES - Wind line is often further WEST than Launch. Sensor reads accurately for 1-2 miles out in the bay. 15mph is a go point for upwind riding on a 14m.


Bellingham Bay Cam
Bellingham Bay Cam - Click for Full Size - NOTES - This sensor usually reads too low because it is in the harbor. Wind often will hit here frist though, before it arives to Locust Beach Sensor. Better indicator on SW to NW winds. Very Low on SE winds


Sandy Point
Sandy Point - Click for Full Size Image - NOTES - Seems to be the best in SE winds in the Winter. Sandy Armpit is a good high tide launch, but low tide there is no water


Hunter Beach (last 24 hours)
Hunter Beach - New Sensor - Seems to be accurate for Hunter Beach
