@Mitchell Noyes Bradford was good. A little gusty, but great evening for it.

@STAFFORD KRAMER Where do you launch on the swamp?
NW wind means either Lake Winnebago (aka, "The Bagel") or Big Muskego (aka, "The Swamp). The Bagel will be smoother wind, but it's an hour drive from MKE. The Swamp promises to be gusty...
Glad you got to ride Mitch! That is great. I went to Delevan as I had some stuff to do out that way already. had to ride a hydrofoil as it was too gusty to make it through the lul...
To add to that, I was on a 12m slingshot rally but looking at the wind readings from last night I probably should have been on a 9m. Becasue the wind was between ssw and s i think the shorline ate ...
@Conn O'Farrell How was Bradford? I got out in sheboygan. There was maybe a dozen kiters when i got there but maybe only 2 left in the water. As a begineer the choppy waves and gusty winds w...
Appreciate the insight as always stafford. Will keep an eye on it and hope to head to sheboygan after work. I can stay upwind now but can't be certain I won't dive the kite into the weeds a couple...
Today is a tough decision. If it really turns SSW or S this afternoon, Bradford would work. Sheboygan is more likely, as long as it stays sunny. If it stays SW the swamp is fine, ...
Look like a south coming through later today. Bouncing between going up to sheboygan after work or south metro pier beach in oak creek as its very local to me. Either way should be lookin to get ou...
Bradford works if there is enough east in the mix, South Shore Yacht Club if ther is not enough east. Right now a bit more lightning than I prefer, might just hit my back yard if that s...
Getting desperate. Out in back yard today (8/12) but mostly frustrated. However, Monday looking promising. Given the rain, Milwaukee beaches should be sparsely populated, so somew...
Stafford, hope that worked for you. My back yard looked promising, but only disappointed...
Stafford, Curious where you launch from in Racine? I ended up driving down to Montrose - had a great time but it was a long drive.
Conn, welcome to MKE! I'm from London myself (but have been here for years). Bradford is best on a south wind but can be ridden pretty well on a SE and SSW too. In summer the south end of B...
Thanks Mitchell. I went down to Bradford last week but was very busy with swimmers. Is there other beaches where there's room to launch on?
@Conn O'Farrell To better answer your question though, this map has some spots https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1CRxBEtugob0O9fFYMMHfL784s2o&ll=43.05055599726969%2C-88.06380578490324&a...
Hey I'm new to kiting in the area but have been surfing the area for the past 10+ years. So I know most of the spots and how to read and predict wave forcasts, but am just learning to read and forc...
