I'm more worried about that norte next Wednesday night as I'm arriving Sunday.
 
I see multiple boats going by Fiesta Americana's web cam looks like the port is open. Scuba shack's weather station is showing current winds @ 4.3 KT's from NNE.
 
Port is open, the north wind is here but not too strong yet. Just finished one at Bricks. The wind seems to be pretty much dead north so the southern sites are relatively protected. The ride back could be interesting but I’m not complaining!
 
Stronger at 6PM today Friday. 23 kt gusts. looks the same for next Wednesday night but hopefully not.

It's norte light today. Non issue. Probably same conditions tomorrow.
Or not. Well, you may win betting against Win Guru forecasts, but that's rare. They were wrong about today as the expected winds aren't as bad and diving was done. Yay for that.
 
Yep, it’s Norte but not so fuerte. The ride back was a bit sporty but not as bad as I expected. Hopeful but not optimistic for tomorrow.
 
Actually Windguru forecast light to moderate north winds until 3 PM(as reported) then much stronger by 6 pm. I don't bet against wind guru!
