San Luis possible Sunday afternoon.
Charts are predicting something.
Went last Saturday but the wind dropped at noon as
soon as I got rigged at around 12:30
Top lake is full right to the top.
Weed wacker or machete needed to wack the
path next to the tree. |

Prediction for Saturday does not look too shabby either. And the O'Neill Forebay water level is 222 feet. Yahoo! |

Got there at 10:30 low clouds and cold but defiantly windy.
Put up a 5.3
It was kind of up and down and gusty.
Sun came out around Noon and things got nicer.
4 Wing Dingers including Pete showed up around 1 pm
they seemed to be making good use of the conditions.
packed it up around 3:30 |

I would have thought with the shallow waters & weeds foiling would be a bit of a PITA? Were the wingers out in the main lake or using shorter masts?

Weed's are only there from Mid June on.
And only get bad in July . However if
they raise the water level the weeds can essentially
disappear.
There were little sticks in the water which I blame
for my spinout's though .
Probably came of the shore due to high water level.
Also the water level is very high right now.
See link at begging of Thread .
Yesterday the Foils where going wherever they wanted.
pretty much . It's a different story in July.
Shallow Bottom in places can be more of a problem.
Yes it was all at the forbay.
I don't know anything about there mast length but it seemed
pretty typical .
Peter Schiebal (Caution Kites ) has been coming up with
a Santa Cruz crew and a few of Santa Cruz windsurfers
are trying the Foiling there now.
Upper Lake is filled right to the Highway. |

Thanks ctuna,
I always launch from the Medeiros side and have never been brave enough to run a fin bigger than 32 cm, which is why I never really considered foiling there. Either the water is obviously deep enough or they are running 70 cm masts. My shortest mast is 85 cm so I will need to exercise caution if I try foiling there.

Sailed the lake last Wed. 5/24 and Memorial Day, 5/29. 4.6 plenty overpowered on Wed. and 5.2 ranging from overpowered to barely holding on on Monday. Lake level was only 219 on Wed., which gets your fin a little scuffed up. 223+ on Monday. You could sail right up to your car without hitting the bottom. No weeds yet . |
