Back from Spain/Portugal tonight, seems I have snuck up on some warm SW wind Monday & Tuesday. Tuesday looks AWESOME, swamp should work. My back yard lowered for annual drawdown signifigantly, expect swamp to be a bit deeper than average.

Either Bradford or grant for me today. Probably head out around 12
At Bradford now. Wind seems steady, gonnna rig a 13m.
Those damn stakes are in the sand now though
Grant is decent. A little up and down but no stakes. 14m for me is working well.
Sheboygan was very nice. Wind was all over the place but had it's moments.
Decent showing at Bradford on a 13m. The wind was up and down more than usual but also had it's moments Jeff.
Also, first time wearing the 5/4 wetsuit for months. Had booties on but warm enough for no gloves. More days coming up!
I broke my leg so won't be kiting for a long time. get some good rides in for me!
Back yard sucked, should have driven to Grant. Tomorrow and Wednesday looking much better, but enough west to keep us inland methinks...
Muskego area wind getting there, swamp should be on. SW today and tomorrow is forecast, with Thursday more west. Each day could be 20-30 or more according to NOAA. My back yard should work, but with water lowered 2+ feet this winter getting in & out will be interesting.
Heading over to the swamp around noon. Watch the wind in the parking lot. May be very gusty...consider a drift launch if bad. Water is probably freezing too despite very warm air temps
Hoping for a speedy recovery Stafford! We'll set some Woo records in your honor!!
Stafford - sorry to hear, let me know of you need a lift to the polls as you DON'T want to miss that!! However, would need to bring you to vote early as I am a Poll Worker and expect a long day... ;)
Jeff, wind up about a force, I'm heading out in back yard. Water temp in back yard mid 50's, should be similar at swamp. Enjoy!!
Wind down a little as afternoon progressed, but AWESOME day inland with more to come over next two days!
Wind was ok at the swamp...a tad too much south. Gusty but ridable.
Fast recovery Stafford!
Sorry to hear about your leg, Stafford. Hoping for a speedy recovery so you can get back on the water soon.
By the time I got to Big M a lot of the lads were done and the wind was not as good. Let's just say with the help of some other we avoided a bad launch in the parking lot on a 13m. I then lasted 15 mins on a 10m before I called it quits as the wind was gusting like Pike Lake!
However, I kept my wetsuit on and drove by Bradford on the way home and rode there for 45 mins or so on a slightly on-shore/side shore wind. Was much steadier despite the direction, I just didn't ride out very far.
The wind is looking similar today. I am going to wait until later this afternoon (3pm-ish) to see if it turns on-shore enough to ride the big pond again!
Back yard looking good already this morning, heading out with wind SW-WSW
Wind better today than yesterday, three hours was all this great-grandpa could register. Save some for tomorrow...
